Trade In
Details
The Archetype Of The Modern Diver
The Submariner 16610 is the definitive version of the modern dive watch. It represents the last generation of the classic aluminum bezel Submariner, combining the traditional proportions and tool watch ethos with the reliability of a modern movement and sapphire crystal. This specific watch carries an extra layer of history, having been acquired directly from its original owner.
An Exceptionally Complete Set
What makes this example stand out is the remarkable completeness of its original factory kit. It comes with everything it left the authorized dealer with in 1999, including all pamphlets and even the Submariner anchor. The accessories themselves are in excellent condition, which is rare for a watch of this era. This is not just the watch, but the full ownership experience preserved.
Honest Condition From A Single Owner
This watch is in good overall condition. The case and bezel show wear consistent with a watch that was worn and enjoyed, while the dial remains perfect. The stainless steel Oyster bracelet is in good shape. This is an honest example that has not been over-polished or artificially restored. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Foundational Collection Piece
This is the right choice for someone who wants the most recognizable watch in the world, with the added value of a complete set and single-owner provenance. It offers the perfect entry point into serious collecting. The 16610 is a reference that feels at home anywhere, from a dive boat to a boardroom, and this example offers the full context of how it was originally sold.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
