Watch of the Month #11 Kissing "4" Red Sub with DARK yellow patina
The “Red” Sub, one of the most historic vintage pieces that was made by
Rolex. I recall around 12 years ago when I started my career as a watchmaker glancing over at my first Submariner. I thought to myself, “Now this is one heck of a watch.” The broad sports style case, the black on black dial and insert, and oh yeah…the creamy patina plots and hands. I guess I was so excited looking over the watch that I failed to observe the one thing that made me instantly fall in love-those bold letters in red reading “Submariner”. Here is a gorgeous Mark lV with the most beautiful patina. I enjoyed bringing this piece back to life and reminiscing those days of working on my first love. |

It’s funny that the 26 on the date wheel doesn’t feature an open 6... any reason for that?
