We have just received the second generation solid gold Submariner "Ref. 16808" produced from around 1980 to around 1988 , so we'd like to introduce it to you right away!

I've been seeing less and less of them lately
It is a solid gold Submariner from the 80s.
As you can see, this specimen has some exquisite discoloration.

What do you think?
The centre of the dial on this particular watch has aged to an emerald green colour.

Now let's take a closer look at the changes over time!!

To be honest, there are some uneven colors, but strangely enough, am I the only one who doesn't find it unpleasant?

It truly exudes a unique presence.

I think there are pros and cons about this dial,
I think there are probably a lot of people who will like it.

This is a three-shot of the solid gold Submariner “Ref. 16808”/solid barnacle model.

It's interesting to see the various discoloration patterns on dials from this era.

We do not sell the individual sides,
It is on display on the second floor of Commit,
If you are interested, please feel free to come and see it.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands have not been modified and are in good condition.

The barnacle index glitters when the light hits it.
It changes to a nice cream color and has a nice feel.

The condition is good, there are scratches on the case and bracelet,
There are no major scratches and the condition is good.

*There is a chip in the glass.

Of course, polish is included.
The middle case is thick and sturdy.

Buckle clasp code is "G"

The bracelet is suitable for the age and has some scratches,
It's in good condition with no wrinkles.

The bezel is in good condition and the color is good.

Wrist shot!! So cool.
This artistic dial combines the vibrant blue and emerald green colors!
