Description
This Rolex Submariner is referred to by collectors as the ‘bridge’ between the old and new Submariners. It was the last Submariner released by Rolex that retained the comparatively slender lug and case profile (which in our opinion makes it much easier to wear than modern Submariners) and the last to have one of the best features ever created on a watch: lug holes (because who doesn’t like being able to easily change a strap within seconds without the need for specialist equipment?). In terms of modern features, it is the first non-date Submariner to come with a sapphire crystal and a triplock crown, an obvious improvement for a diving watch. This model is also particularly loved for its clean and symmetrical non-date dial. Because seriously, do you really need a date when diving underwater? There’s really nothing one can fault about this combination. It’s simply one of the most compelling sports watches on the market, and at a very release reasonable price in comparison to the now outrageous prices that modern Submariners are selling for. The watch’s serial number begins with a ‘T’, indicating that it was manufactured in 1996. The watch is in very good condition, showing signs of light wear on the case and bracelet visible upon close inspection. The watch has an 11 link bracelet (only 10 links were fitted in the pictures above, the extra link comes as a spare). The watch had a complete overhaul in late 2020 and has not been worn since. The watch has been tested and inspected for performance and is in excellent working condition. Hailwood Peters offers a one-year warranty on this watch. The watch comes with a Rolex box, card holder + calendar card, chronometer hang tag, manuals and translation booklet. Hailwood Peters guarantees the watch for authenticity. <h3>Further Viewing</h3>
