Very nice Sub. Miss mine. Sold it to a friend, stupid me and bought a 14060 no date. But mine is circa 1996, a later version. Wonderful picture. πŸ‘

This is a cool model the 16800 I don’t know all tye detail so i borrowed s cool review from β€œMike” Rolex forum. The reference 16800 is known as the "transitional" Submariner for several reasons. The 16800 replaced the reference 1680 and had several change...

Nice example you have there Bill. This is also why I rate the 16808 also for all the same reasons. M.

Wonderful early sapphire Sub!

Lovely Sub, Bill! I really like how those dails age, gaining a lot of character. Here is one of the 16800 I had, completely without patina: ...  

It's been all over the world...it is NOT a safe queen : )

It is due for a service as it is running slow. It will be only the third service in its long life. I do not let them polish anything (soap/water only) and the dial and hands cannot be changed. ...  

Perfect for me!
