Description

Mint condition Rolex Submariner in stainless steel with 'Tritium' dial. This model has now been discontinued and replaced with a slightly larger version. These watches are becoming quite collectable now and we expect prices to start to rise steadily over the next few years. Complete with original warranty certificate.

Case

Case is in mint condition with no marks or scratches of any kind. Brushed effect on the top and bottom with highly polished sides - this model's year of prduction retains the visible 'pin-holes' in case sides. Bezel is also in mint condition with no marks or dents, etc. and retains the original bezel insert. Case ref: 16610. Serial number: W983xxx.

Case dimensions are 40mm (not including crown - 44mm including), 13mm thick and 47.5mm lug to lug.

Dial & Crystal

Dial is perfect and 'like new' with date window at 3 o'clock. Dial is signed 'Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date, Submariner, 1000ft = 300m, Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' with 'Swiss -T <25' at 6 o'clock marking this dial as a 'Tritium' dial which means the luminosity will no longer function. These older 'Tritium' dials' luminosity fades after about 12 years or so. Hands and dial match perfectly.

The crystal is brand new with no chips, scratches or marks. This was replaced at recent service.

Bracelet/Strap

Bracelet is in very fine condition showing virtually zero stretch/play in links from new. The complete watch has clearly been very carefully looked after and worn carefully. Bracelet length is approx. 8" or can be adjusted and comes with divers extension link (nice to find these complete with this special link).

Movement

Model 16610, automatic Chronometer movement in excellent condition - keeping superb time. Watch has just been fully serviced by our Rolex accredited watchmaker. Complete with 12 months warranty.
