I am selling here a watch I always wanted to get build.
A Rolex Submariner 16618 LN - Lug hole model / Tritium
This build dates to the era of 1990 - 1998 due the used parts of the build.
Here are some highlights:
GEN Tritium dial
GEN hands
GEN bezel insert
GEN NO LEC NO AR crystal
The base watch was an ARF 16610LV which was than sent to NikZ for building a 16618
The watch was finished in August 2023
Whats should I say... better I give you all a price breakdown with the parts and costs, and than lets start with the pictures in the next post
I have worn the watch very rarely, mostly around and in the house and than also most of the times on a RIOS vintage-suede leather strap.
Reason I am selling this beauty, worn too less. And also cause my original plans for a Gold-Sub was always a 1680/3 or 16808 with "Nipple dial" in black.
But to source one... more than "hard" Therefore more or less this contingency plan

oyster bracelet | ARF Datejust 116200 | 80 | to ass some weight |
