The Submariner that most people picture when they hear the word. Sold for roughly two decades with an aluminium bezel insert and tritium giving way to LumiNova and then Super-LumiNova, it is the last of the pre-ceramic, pre-Maxi-case Submariners and the reference that defines the classic 40mm proportions.
- The final aluminium-insert Submariner date model before ceramic arrived in 2010.
- Its long run spans three different lume materials, which is how the trade dates examples at a glance.

How do I check a Rolex 16610 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
