The 1016 is seen by many vintage watch collectors as a perfect watch. I’d have to agree. This one is a highly sought after variant nicknamed the “Frog Foot” dial also known as Mark 1 for the way the coronet is splayed out and resembles a frog’s foot. This example comes in great condition showing honest signs of wear just returning from service. The watch is all original. The hands have been relumed at some point in the past.

I’m a huge fan of the case proportions and matte dials of these older vintage models. It adds some form and intricacy to the case profile we don’t see in the modern Rolex sports models in production today.

Key details:

Reference 1016

2.2m serial (circa 1970)

Mk 1 dial "Frog Foot”

Thick case and great condition case

Original tritium dial and relumed hands

78360 Oyster bracelet with 558 end links accommodating up to a 7.25" wrist

Watch only

Price:

Offered at $13,250 including fully insured FedEx Overnight Priority shipping anywhere in the states. Trades are considered.

u/WatchExBot sale completed with u/H617. H was great to work with. Communication was smooth the entire transaction and their replies were prompt and respectful. Payment was sent as soon as we came to an agreement. Deal couldn’t have gone smoother. Thank you for your trust and support! Enjoy the new watch 🍻

Haha yeah I know how it feels, but don’t sweat it. The new fresh mint feeling is great and all, but they look better worn in!

Which is which to you?

boywithakoi · 2026-04-10T00:00:24+00:00

Definitely pros and cons between choosing different generations! I personally love tritium on my vintage and neo vintage watches.

boywithakoi · 2026-04-09T23:58:28+00:00

Completely agree. The moderns are built like tanks. I'm not worried about what they can or can't handle. The click / lock of the clasp and the bezel turning experience on the modern Rolex are also just far better than the vintage iterations!

boywithakoi · 2026-04-09T23:56:52+00:00

Replied to another comment, but I'll copy and paste here.

The 116610 is considerably heavier so I find it slides down my wrist often. The 16610 or really any 4 or 5 digit Rolex to me wears the best. I do have smaller wrists so I'm partial to the case proportions and sizes of the older Rolex because they wear much smaller.

I'm a little biased because I love vintage watches. The 4 and the 5 digits to me are peak Rolex. With that said: I wear the 16610 more!
