Advice on Red Sub
Dear Rolex Forums
This is my first thread. I’m a keen follower and reader of your forums. Now I need your advice on my frist red sub. A friend of mine is offering me this Sub for 13k CHF including matching box and service papers. The serial number is in the 2.35 mio. range. Therefore I don’t know if the dial is matching? What`s your opinion? Thanks in advance |

are they two different watches or is it a photo of the same watch after a service?

All photos are of the same watch, with no service inbetween. The colour of the lume and the dial changes dramatically with different lighting, I tried to catch the details with sunlight and normal light. |

Yes The dial looks fine, mk 1V and the serial number is around 1968; IMHO. Regards Paulie.

That's what I thought. Therefore 69 is a transition year when they changed from meeters first to feet first? Any thoughts on the case? Is the cristal the orignal top hat? |
