SUBMARINER DATE
Reference 16610LV
The watch that Mr. F purchased was the Submariner 50th anniversary model "Ref. 16610LV," the most attractive of which is the green bezel, which is also the symbolic color of Rolex.
This model, which was released in 2003, is very popular and is affectionately known as the "Green Sub" because of its bezel color, which is green, the corporate color of Rolex. The indexes and hands are larger than those of the "Ref. 16610" that was produced at the same time, and visibility has been greatly improved.
Among these, this particular example is one of the earliest known MK1 examples, known as the "lime bezel" with a pale green bezel color, the "flat 4" with a trapezoidal 4 on the bezel, and the "big Swiss" with a large SWISS MADE inscription at the 6 o'clock position on the dial.

SUBMARINER DATE
Reference 126613LB
The watch that JN purchased was the current Rolex Submariner Date model, Ref. 126613LB, which has gained popularity and is nicknamed the "Blue Sub."
The case diameter has been increased from 40mm to 41mm compared to the previous model "Ref.116613LB", giving it a more powerful impression. It has inherited the universal design but has been finely brushed up and released in 2020. The ceramic bezel is engraved with a 60-minute scale with a special yellow gold coating, allowing you to accurately measure dive time and decompression stops. The new movement "Cal.3235" features high magnetic resistance and shock resistance, as well as a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and the calendar date can be adjusted at any time.
