The Rolex Submariner 168000 represents a different style of addition to the โfuture classicโ concept. The 168000 is, in fact, essentially identical to the Submariner 16800 that had been produced in very high numbers. The 168000, however, differs in two ve...
.. Your series have been helpful & are great write-ups ! Thx for your comprehensive informations, Best, hs PS: In addition to my humble current Vintage Subs, (such as 1680/SR, 5513 in various versions) maybe one day such might be considered, but as you wr...
But I am willing to make compromises in condition and papers and boxes. If it has papers missing but a Rolex service receipt than I am confident to buy.
I'm not sure where my interest will fall in terms of a chase for a future classic but i do like/prefer the 5 digit subs. And now here I see a 6 digit sub that's a 5 digit sub!
The Zubmariner is fascinating and I can imagine how hard it is to find one. I still prefer the Long Good F for its no date and cooler name, but this is also great. Thanks for educating us. CC
Very interesting post Joe, never heard from this Zubmariner. Searching all my pictures and i dont find my watch now, this post always makes me crazy. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to share this. Was the glossy dial used in the predecessor as well? I assume following version was fitted with a matte dial?
I definitely know of matt dials. 168000, I have never seen a matt dial but only the typical gloss'd. I haven't done the research on prior and post models so will need to come back on that.......
I meant search engines... Just amazing how many devils in the details. Not much left of the 14060M LGF, maybe 1 or 2 on the popular web but mostly in Europe ๐, which they are not keen to ship to US. This Zorro, I can forget it...Iโll save some money, on t...
This Zubmariner is like a Unicorn. Almost impossible to find one with all original dial and hands with matching Patina. Also very controversial. I see on Rolex Forum debate about there being 85s & 86sbouth new with papers and thus the 7-9 month production...
In the past I was considered an odd one chasing 168000s. The 168000 was a bit of an urgly duckling. I added a 9.3m serial 168000 complete with box, booklets and papers back in 2012. It went straight to RSC for an overhaul, while keeping the dial and hands...
Thank you Baron for this vital information.... I bought mine (new) in 1978 so when I noticed your date references....I went to check. Mine doesn't have the Zubmariner unfortunately.....but it's nice to know my 'humble' Rolex might be a rarity.. ...
Hi all I have read the thread and hoping you can assist me Please see my recent purchase of a Rolex 16800 sub 1984 / 85 All original the dial is a zorro ...
