1983 Rolex Submariner 16800 Matte Dial with Box and Paperwork

[007Sub]

1983 Rolex Submariner 16800 Matte dial with Box and Papers.

This is a superb example of a “transitional” matte submariner. Experience the best of both worlds (sapphire crystal, high beat movement, and tritium matte dial). The 16800 is a real collectors piece as its limited run makes this a very unique combination of vintage meeting contemporary elements of the submariner execution. Arguably one of the most wearable vintage subs. This example has all box papers, anchor, and RSC NYC service paperwork included.

Dial
Superb dial that is clean overall; no chips, scratches or pull marks; patina is an even light cream. Hands are a slight shade lighter than the dial. They were replaced at an RSC service in 1990 so they are still tritium. Paperwork from RSC service included.

Bezel / Inlay
Sharp bezel ring with original inlay. Almost no scratches.

Case
Case has seen light polishing but lugs remain even all around. 7 o’clock lug has a small ding in it (see photo). Serial number 7.4 million is perfectly clear with no pitting or corrosion on case.

Crystal
Sapphire crystal in perfect shape. No scratches.

Movement
Winds and sets smoothly, keeping time within COSC spec. Not guaranteed for waterproofness.

Bracelet
Original Rolex 93150 Heavy Oyster Bracelet H clasp code with correct 593 endlinks in good condition with some mild stretch.

Offered at $9k USD. Shipped fully insured via Parcel Pro.
