Beautiful 2002/3 (Y Serial) Rolex Oyster Submariner 16610 with Box and Brochure

The Overview

This is a beautiful example of the iconic Rolex Submariner 16610 dating from 2002/3 (Y serial covers both years). The steel case is in overall very good condition with some fairly minor signs of wear – I’m happy to send a What’s App video or the original high resolution photos if required. The guaranteed genuine Rolex dial is in excellent condition and the lens uncracked. The very high grade Rolex signed automatic movement is in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The original Rolex bracelet is in good condition but does have some stretch. The deployment clasp code is ‘AD’ dating it to 2003 and the end section 93250. We also have a genuine though slightly later Rolex ‘wave’ box and a Rolex Submariner brochure dated 2005. In view of the high quality movement we will give a 12 month warranty on the watch.

The Rolex Submariner is the most famous divers watch in the world and has been worn by everyone from Jacque Cousteau to James Bond.
