Description

The Blue Submariner      -      Rolex Sports models in 18K gold are known as bricks on the wrist with a substantial weight. Don't get us wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, this is, in fact, something which buyers of these like. The combination of yellow gold on a sports watch has something sexy. The here offered watch is such an example, it just looks wow on the wrist and has a nice feel to it. The condition of this example is astonishing, it remains unpolished and still shows the factory bevels and finishing. Another interesting fact is that this 16618 has a tritium dial with nicely aged cream color Luminous with matching hands. These Neo Vintage Submariners are for every day wear, given that they have a Sapphire crystal and are actually water resistant. This watch is the perfect watch for the sea, no matter if you are swimming or on a boat. It just looks so good in the Sun.

The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex models in history. Not only because it more than aptly served its purpose as diver’s watch, although I am pretty sure only a small number of Submariners has ever seen a spat of water. Its appearance in several James Bond movies certainly helped as well. If you omit functionality and marketing, the Submariner success is mainly due to its elegance as a timeless dress watch. It’s just one of those watches you keep looking at, regardless of wanting to know the time of day. The Submariner was launched in 1953 and officially presented at the Basel Fair in 1954.
