#166 - Spider Dial! Introducing the Submariner Date 16800!

Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we are introducing a semi-vintage Submariner model!

Rolex Submariner Date All Tritium Spider Dial
Ref.16800 Serial.84 series (manufactured around 1984)
Cal.3035 Hard grooveless bracelet 93150/FF593
Accessories: Box
SOLD OUT!!

The second generation Submariner Date/Ref. 16800, produced from around 1980 to around 1988.
While inheriting the basic design from the original Submariner Date/Ref. 1680, the crystal has been changed from plastic to sapphire glass, and the model has an anti-reverse bezel and a quick-change date function, making it even more practical.

This is a "spider dial" with spider web-like cracks on the surface of the dial.

What makes this dial so fascinating is that it looks like a spider web depending on the angle of the light.
There are various ways in which cracks can appear, but this particular watch has a spider dial with a large crack.

The luminous hands and indexes are all tritium.

The tritium has a deep burnt color, giving it an outstanding vintage feel !
There is some rust on the hands, but it does not detract from the atmosphere and matches perfectly with the spider dial .

The buckle has a grooveless clasp that is appropriate for the era.
The clasp code is "I" , which matches the era.

The accessories are all in a box.
Condition: There are small scratches from use, but the case is sturdy.
*The previous owner cut one link on the 6 o'clock side when adjusting the links.

Finally, a wrist shot!!
This is truly a one-of-a-kind dial that gives off a sense of "wabi-sabi"!
Submariner semi-vintage model "Ref. 16800" is a cool model with all tritium and large cracked spider dial.
The price is very attractive, so if you are looking for one, please consider this product!!
