[jhquek]

After 2008 all new subs are ceramic bezel right? Should not have 16610 unless NOS. Pricing for ceramic vs old bezel is diff also.

Will be a very good buy if you can find a F-series and above selling at below $6k.

Thanks bros here! Sharing all the valuable info.. Almost kena a "sharp knife"lol..
Appreciate it tons!

assuming both is 16610, 10yr old sub (ie 2003) maybe no engraved rehaut and the box is the old type wood with paper warranty
3yr old sub ie 2010 is with engravbed rehaut (ROLEXROLEXROLEX....) and the new design box with card warranty
10yr old should need a full servicing (if never done before since 2003) while 2010 no need servicing
price wise, i will say $5800 to $6000 for 2003 and $6500 to $6800 for 2010 (assuming all papers, box, accessories intact)

Note that full servicing will cost upwards of $900 if done at RSC - you might want to factor that cost in when making a decision between the two.

Any difference between a 10yr old sub and a 3yr old sub.
Assuming both is 16610.
Difference such as specs movement etc.
If the idea is to use as daily beater and not to flip.

The difference are as replied by bro Oceanklassik, IMHO it is better to get a 10 year old one as a daily beater. Just get the necessary servicing done and it is as good as a 3 year old. At least you don't need to be so careful when wearing it.

[Oceanklassik]

A "10yr old sub" should be an 'F' series while a "3yr old sub" is a 'G' or 'V' series.

There is very little difference externally. The newer one comes with the engraved rehaut while the older model does not. The movement should be the same, ie 3135, for both.
