It seems to me that when we are talking about Sauron putting on the one ring and the Elves then take off theirs, we are talking about the Three elven rings.
But to me, as i understand it, the three rings were untouched by Sauron so why would he putting on the one ring do anything to the three rings at all.
I think, as was stated earlier, that the 9 and 7 rings were originally meant for the Elves alone. They made them and why would they just willingly give away a craft of their labor. So they made these 16 rings for themselves, and the three in secret, and when Sauron put on the one the Elves with the 16 took them off because they knew his plan then, but the holders of the three had nothing to fear.
Angered, Sauron demanded the 16 rings be give to him but the Elves refused and he initiated the War of the Elves and Sauron to take back the rings, of which he did from Celebrimbor. But the three rings he did not seek because he did not know of them.
From what I've read Sauron started the War of the Elves and Sauron to get back the Elven Rings after the Elves took off their rings, but if he didnt know about the three how would he be angered from their taking them off, it doesnt add up unless its talking about the 16.
