Hello! 

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!
Today, we have an excellent example of the discontinued 5-digit Submariner Date! 

Rolex Submariner Date All Tritium
Ref.16610 Serial.S3 (Manufactured around 1993)
Accessories: Box, warranty card (400: Hong Kong / April 1994 stamp)
Cal.3135 93150/FF501B Clasp code S10
SOLD OUT!!

 

The Submariner Date "Ref.16610" was manufactured from around R serial (1988) to G/random serial (around 2010), and is a classic popular model in Rolex's sports watch lineup. 

The individual we have in stock this time is a semi-vintage piece with all tritium on the luminous material, hands, and indexes.

Semi-vintage models offer a different charm than current models, exuding a vintage atmosphere that I find very appealing.

Especially good examples like this, with all the right conditions, are becoming scarce, so please check it out if you're looking for one!

The dial and luminous condition are very clean! The tritium luminous material has a beautiful cream-colored patina. 

This black lacquer dial is reminiscent of a gilt dial, and this particular piece retains its gloss perfectly, making for a very beautiful dial.

The luminous material on the hands is also in good condition with no cracks!

The case and bracelet are also in excellent condition, a prime example!

While there are some minor scuffs and scratches, it's in a superb condition that suggests it has never been polished. 

Look at these thick lugs! !
The moment you pick it up, you'll be amazed by its superb condition. 

These are truly sharp lugs! !
The fine hairline finish is also in a very clean state.

The sharp lugs are still present!
The bezel also has sharp edges!

The buckle clasp code is "S10"
The crisp and consistent bracelet shows absolutely no stretch and is in top condition! 

The buckle clasp is also stiff! !
This bracelet is also great! 

The reference sticker remains on the case back!

This is a very attractive piece that has been kept in relatively clean condition overall!

Accessories include the box, warranty card, Submariner booklet, and Oyster booklet!

Wrist shot! The tritium lume has a nice patina! This is a recommended piece with a great semi-vintage feel! Lately, good examples of the 16610 have become quite rare.

The semi-vintage popular model Submariner "Ref.16610/S3 series" 
is an excellent example with superb overall condition for the dial, case, and bracelet! The beautifully aged tritium luminous material is also captivating, and such a piece with an outstanding atmosphere and complete accessories is rarely in stock these days! 
If you are looking for a semi-vintage excellent example with all the right conditions,
please consider it.
