Description

1985 Rolex 18K YG Submariner 16808 Matte Black Nipple Dial

Case: The excellent 18k yellow gold case has just returned from polishing showing sharp prominent bevels. The black bezel insert is also in excellent condition showing only very light wear from use. Dial: The matte black nipple dial is excellent showing only light wear for its age. The lume has aged to a clean creamy hue and the hands match perfectly. Bracelet: The 11 link 18K yellow gold Oyster bracelet is excellent showing only light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1983 date code. Accessories: None. Notes: While the watch certainly looks good poking out from under a suit sleeve. Where we think it really shines is dressed down, paired with a T-shirt, jeans, and your favorite pair of worn out sneakers.
