1982 Rolex Submariner Date ref. 16800 Matte Dial

Up for grabs is a Rolex Submariner Date

Reference 16800

7.4 mil serial number circa 1982 production with correct matte dial

Good condition case with even lugs and crown guards. Legible numbers.

Original matte dial with vivid patina. No relume or refinishing. Up close you can see some staining on the dial’s paint. No chips or scratches. Hands are tritium, but a bit darker in patina.

Bezel insert is original with tritium pearl. There is some aging and corrosion on the insert as seen in pictures.

The bracelet is original Rolex 93150 with 593 ends and G date code. The bracelet has been retightened in past.

This is a “budget” version matte Sub with an overall attractive vintage look.
