Rolex Submariner Date Blue Dial Two-Tone 16613
SOLD
The Inside Story
Blue and gold is never old…
Keeping with this week’s theme we are offering a double whammy with this watch – steel and gold plus a desirable blue dial. This watch will definitely make you feel more spring-like – this dial almost shouts at you in the sunlight!
The Rolex term for two-tone watches is Rolesor and this example is beautiful with a sunburst blue dial that is flawless. The case remains strong, with nice lines and fat lugs. The 18kt yellow gold bezel remains in very good condition and the 18kt yellow gold 7mm winding crown is still very well defined. The watch is fitted with a blue bezel insert with gold fonts that is also superb.
The solid link Oyster bracelet, ref 93253, is in fantastic tight condition and has a clasp stamped ‘DE 8’ and solid endlinks. Since the year 2000 the two-tone bracelets had gold through the clasp instead of just steel. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

Each vintage timepiece is individually selected and carefully inspected by our team of experts. After we buy a watch it is mechanically inspected and fully checked by our watchmaker. If necessary, the movement will be fully serviced and tested to ensure it is running to our exacting standards.
We will always describe the watch as fully as we can in our sales texts. Our zoomable images are of the highest possible quality and form an important part of each watch’s description. We will never hide or cover up any element of any watch we sell.
Key to our unparalleled service is Fedex Priority shipping, fully insured. Once you have received your watch, we encourage you to inspect it thoroughly. If you are not 100% satisfied, please let us know. We offer a 14 days return policy. Simply return the watch to get a full refund of the original purchase price.
Our Warranty
We offer a one-year warranty on the mechanical function of the watch, starting from the day of purchase. We do not guarantee the waterproof nature of any (vintage) watch, unless expressly made in writing. Therefore, our warranty will not cover any damage done to the case and/or movement by water or moisture entering the watch. Our warranty does not apply to accidental damage or mishandling of your watch and does not extend to the bracelet, case parts (including pushers, winding stem, crown and bezel), watch glass, dial and hands.
