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.W2 (Manufactured around 1994)
Accessories: Box, warranty card (440: Taiwan/Open)
Cal.3135 93150/FF501B Clasp code W4
SOLD OUT!!

 

Submariner Date "Ref.16610"
A long-selling model manufactured for over 20 years, from R-serial (around 1988) to G/random serial (around 2010).

It has been a highly popular model as a representative Rolex sports watch for many years,
and one of its charms is the somewhat retro design compared to current models!

The Ref.16610 saw minor specification changes during its long production period,
but this particular watch that has arrived has all tritium on the luminous dot, hands, and index lume!

The moderately aged tritium lume stands out on the black dial,
creating an excellent semi-vintage atmosphere!!

The dial and luminous conditions are very well preserved!
The tritium lume has aged beautifully, changing to an attractive cream color!!

Ref.16610 models with such beautiful patination are highly popular,
and especially excellent examples with solid overall condition are becoming scarce.

The black lacquer dial is reminiscent of a mirror dial,
and this particular piece retains its gloss beautifully, making it a very clean dial.

The hand lume is also in good condition with no cracks found!

The case and bracelet are also in excellent condition!

Although there are some scuffs and scratches,
the condition is superb, suggesting it is unpolished.

Look at these thick lugs!!
The superb condition makes you exclaim "Oh!" the moment you hold it.

These are indeed sharp lugs!!
The fine hairline finish is also in very clean condition.

The horn-like lugs are still present!!
The bezel's edge line is also sharp!

The buckle clasp code is "W4"

The crisp, consistent bracelet shows no looseness and is in top condition!

The reference sticker remains on the case back!!

It has a great look, doesn't it?
This semi-vintage model is currently drawing a lot of attention, as it sells very quickly whenever we get it in stock!

The accessories include the box, warranty card, chronometer tag, Submariner booklet (98/later added), and Oyster booklet!

Wrist shot!!
This model always feels incredibly stable.
Recently, good condition 16610 models have become scarce,
and excellent examples with all tritium are particularly noteworthy!

A popular semi-vintage model, Submariner "Ref.16610/W4 serial"
This is an excellent example with superb overall condition of the dial, case, and bracelet!
The beautifully aged tritium lume is also captivating, exuding an outstanding semi-vintage atmosphere!!
Furthermore, all accessories are complete, and such a well-conditioned piece is rarely available these days!
For customers looking for a Ref.16610 with all tritium and great condition,
Please consider this piece.
