I've seen another superb one with a dial turning to brown. These vintage gold Subs are sublime. [nt]

For me there will only ever be one blue submariner.
The one and only 16808 transitional model traverses across from vintage to modern perfectly keeping the nipple dial and introducing the sapphire crystal. A beach watch that always makes me smile and warm inside. Happy Bank holiday to all here in UK and ha...
Thank you. And to think this actual watch was in stock with the AD for over 10 years without selling.
How time’s have changed. M.
I know what you mean about yellow metal
And this particular colour dial and bezel just works so perfectly IMO. Bling is so much harder to wear these days but 20 years ago it wasn’t such a problem. I love this watch and for me is shouts summer holidays beers and parties. M.
No doubts a born good looker
Hard to believe the dealer kept it unsold for 10 years specially in the UK (or US) Nonetheless yours forever with a smile. Happy Holidays.
It was in the UK. I spoke to the AD after buying the watch.
And they remembered the watch well. It now has duplicate paper works because it was in stock so long that they lost the papers for it. Incredible to think. Wouldn’t happen these days. This makes it even more special for me and it sits holding its head up ...

Well spotted eagle eye 😉
Yes there is a problem with it so needs attention. No swimming in the Med until sorted. Thank you for heads up M.
In the mid 70s and up to the 90s this one was the it watch. In. The wr was no fluke and because it was sporty.
And a luxury because of the yellow gold. Definitely a statement watch. Glad you are enjoying it. This icon of a Submariner. 😎 👍 Cheers. 🍻 Geross.
