The 16610 is the standard Submariner of its era, the reference most people picture when they say “Submariner.” It entered production around 1988, replacing the 16800, and ran until 2010 when the ceramic-bezel 116610LN took over. That is about 23 years on a single reference number, and no other Submariner Date reference comes close: the 16800 ran about eight years, the 116610LN ran ten. The 16610 ran for more than two decades while the rest of Rolex sports production moved around it, and it absorbed a long list of small changes along the way that reward careful attention. | The 16610 is the standard Submariner of its era, the reference most people picture when they say “Submariner.” It entered production around 1988, replacing the 16800, and ran until 2010 when the ceramic-bezel 116610LN took over.
