The Rolex Submariner 6536 can justifiably be called 'Ultra Rare' - it was only produced for 1 year, and only 100 examples are known to exist - this makes it almost as rare as some of the modded vintage watches for sale in RWI's M2M section.
Made in 1955, and that year only, the movement used was a 1030 calibre, a 25 jewel movement running at 18,000 BPH.
The bezel has markers every 5 minutes - no minute markers, and on some 6536s the red triangle is still visible at 12 on the bezel (not on this one, as you can see). The depth rating on the dial was printed in red, the crown was 6 mm in diameter. The 6536 was supplied on a rivet bracelet.
The case and dial for this build had to be specially commissioned,and took a couple of months to be made at the factory.
The case is beautifully slim, elegant. The dial is one of the best true gilt dials I've ever seen - rich deep chocolate black, with the depth rating in a deep blood red.
The owner wanted a very well looked after finish on this watch, just some light patina on the dial and hands from the radium lume.
Inside there's a Swiss low beat non hacking ETA, which is in fact the only gen part of this watch - everything else is aftermarket and modified to look as close to gen as possible.
As with the original, it comes on a 7206 rivet bracelet.
Thanks for looking !
