Rolex Submariner 116610LN brutally used and tested for 6 years

See this watch at a Florida beach when it was brutally tested with sand sun and ocean • Rolex Submariner 11661...
See the latest update on what it looks like after dragging it in the sand for another year • UPDATE: Rolex Submarin...
I have posted a detailed review of this very same watch on the beach in Florida. I detailed what brutal sand, ocean, and sun do (or not) to the watch. This is one tough wrist watch for sure. I use it day in and out. I sometimes alternate it with my Panerai but I mostly use my Submariner.
People asked for a closer video to show blemishes and scratches on the watch. It is about 5 to 6 years old now and my careless usage not even taking a toll on the watch. As per my conversation with Rolex, I do not even have to send it in for any maintenance. You only send your watch to Rolex if you have any problems with your movement or not keeping time properly or if you have physical damage. No more scheduled maintenances on Submariners at least.
First of all I will never get this watch polished. I like what I am seeing. My watch developed a character with blemishes and small dings and dongs. Bezel and sapphire crystal are in exceptional shapes. ANd I mean like day one!
See the details yourself.

My 116610 Sub between my grandfather and myself has quite a history and a story to tell about it just looking at it! My Sub has scrapes, a few small chips of steel that have come off, scratched glass, tattered bezel and I love it. I wear that Rolex to do almost any job I have to do and the thing is a tank!
Love this video. You reminded me to enjoy my watch to it's fullest potential and that these things can take a good beating and still look great with all the scratches and fingerprints lol. It gives the watch it's character and depth. Respect!
You are the only guy who has managed to make me like the Ceramic sub and make it look cool. Good job!
People tendo to forget that althought expensive a sub is still a tool watch, meant to be loved as much as possible and not to be locked away in a safe or drawer. so glad to see a Sub getting that level of love
This is the reason I like the ceramic better than the aluminum bezel. It can take a beating and still look good. I'm pretty sure that will take on some sort of patina after a decade or so.

The bezel still looks like new. I was looking for a stainless steel Daytona in local Rolex dealer and happen to pull out the new sub there. Put them side to side, bezels looks identical even with my abuse on mine. The more I abuse it, the more my watch seems and feels indestructible and builds character. I wouldn't change the way I wear even if I could go back to day one! Loving it everyday use including gym :)

Great Vid, Just so you know, Every bang and scratch your watch has will come off with a light polish at a Rolex Service Center. My Yachtmaster had a very similar and deep scratch as yours and now it's brand new.
Absolutely outstanding buddy! I save all your sub videos. They're the only ones on KZread that show a wearer who uses his watch the way it was intended, as a tool, a constant companion. It would be a great tragedy for you to have it buffed man! Don't do it! Haha

Well it’s a tool watch designed to take a beating and keep working. Nice to see someone using it as a daily watch to do anything and everything with. Too many of these get bought as investments and never make it out of the box which to me is quite sad. If you want a shiny expensive watch that you never wear then buy a shiny expensive gold dress watch. Stainless watches are meant to be worn.
There’s a difference between wearing and using a watch without babying it and just abusing and being rough with it for the sake of it which is what you’re doing.

I think what you consider "used and abused" is way different than what I do. I'm talking about actually making my roli rust... I had to take it back to Rolex because I thought they sold me a fake. If your into knives and guns aside from watches then you probably know what I know, stainless steel WILL rust.

There’s a big difference between letting a patina of wear to show character and just treating a nice watch like shit, if you do this you may as well buy a GShock it’s will last just as well but why buy a luxury watch than not look after it . Like buying a Porsche then not maintaining it.

I treat my all my watches right. My Daytona and GMT Master II are in great shape also but Submariner is the one gets to be bruised because it is still my favorite to wear everyday! It still looks great! The video is taken very close and in great detail so it really shows blemishes under light and in high definition. These little characteristic scratches and flaws do not even show when I am wearing it.

A submariner is meant to be a tool watch. It is a divers. So yeah, good to see the watch used for the purposes it was made for.
Damn dude, you beat the shit out of that Submariner! I've worn my 16610 everyday for 3 years and it still looks like new. I don't baby the watch by any means, but am subconsciously careful not to bang it around on anything... For what it's worth (since I've owned both ceramic and pre-ceramic subs) it seems to me that the steel on the ceramic sub is softer and more prone to scratches, gouges and chipping. My 16610 easily beats the 116610 in this regard. Just my 2 cents. Hope your daughter enjoys the watch as much as you have!

Well done to you. I just can't believe how inconsistant you are!
it's a overpriced tool watch afterall. good to see someone using it this hard and still looks beautifull. go on mate
Send it to Rolex in a couple of years and you will get it returned to you as new.
Don't buff it, go to local nails salon, ask them for 2 orange buffers, go home rubbing those 2 buffers against each other surface to completely remove the sharpness, after that use these 2 fine buffers rubbing on your watch, it will leave the watch with a different finish, like a old stainless spoon inside your kitchen, but keep off not to buff the crystal , Reason why u need buffers from Nails salon, cuz their buffer have better cushion between those sandpaper edges. Gluck
5 years? probably time for a service anyways

Looks like it's "folded" when taken off and "stored" and/or worn with other jewelry such as bracelets and/or cufflinks and of course there's no "sending back to Rolex" any watch with an "ETA" movement that can be replaced for way less than "sending" it back to "Rolex" or even a "watchmaker" for proper "servicing" which costs a minimum of $50/hr. and requires at least half a "day" of labor even for a quality pocket watch of 16 or 18 size and only gets more expensive and time consuming as the movement gets smaller and "mass produced". Quality pocket watch movements were/are only produced in small "production runs" on a "demand" basis in order to prevent a loss in tooling precision and "watchmaker" attention span from adversely affecting "precision". And CASES always were "disposable" and were/are not "part" of the "watch". Until very late in U.S. quality pocket-watch production and we'll into wristwatch production, quality pocket watch manufacturers didn't even MAKE cases and did not "case" movements at the "factory". All quality pocket watches were "custom made" and watchmaker started with the movement the customer "needed" to achieve the desired/required "accuracy" and "precision" and dials and hands were chosen the same way. The CASE was typically the last "component" chosen and was selected based upon tge environment the "watch" was going to be used in and how it was going to be "carried". Meaning on a "chain" or "fob" and whether in the "watch pocket" of a suit vest or overalls or work pants. Those factors also determined the movement "type" whether "open-face" or "hunting" so were primary factors but "open-face" movements were the most precise and the highest "quality" because hunting "flip open" cases with their springs and latching mechanisms and "press fit" covers subject movements to "shocks" and "stresses" that preclude maximum precision and "accuracy" without the complete "watch" being too large, heavy, complex and expensive for "pocket" carrying.
