The earlier 16610 Submariner examples still feature tritium dials, which were replaced at the end of 1998 with super-luminova, which have become very desirable due to excellent color changes the lume can take on. Creating a wonderful vintage appeal with useful modern functionality.

CASE & BRACELET

The excellent case retains light factory chamfers, showing honest wear from use. The bezel remains unpolished showing very light wear. The original bezel insert has faded to an excellent light blue coloration that is not commonly seen in the later submariner references and retains it tritium pearl which has aged to a nice caramel coloration. The original Rolex 93150 Oyster bracelet with 501B end pieces remains unpolished showing some wear and stretch from use.

DIAL & HANDS

The gorgeous glossy dial remains flawless in condition. The tritium lume plots have taken on a slight ivory patina, exhibiting no degradation under U.V. light inspection. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly, under U.V. light inspection the hour and minute hand show no degradation, the sweep seconds hand exhibits light degradation.
