You have an extremely rare piece there and may I even venture to say one of a kind. The dial appears to be a refinish job but obviously was performed by a master-craftsman and therefore should have little to no negative effect on the value.

If you can source a crown to finish it off the sky would obviously be the limit. You have hit the jackpot my friend and Antiquorum or Sotheby's is the only way to go!

Ooh that's the rare no crown Submariner. Jocke Cousteau gave this watch to the guys in his office once he as them wearing the Subs that his divers never got. These watches were especially made for those who never saw the water!

$3501.00 !!!!!!!!!

(uh... we're talking Indonesia Rupiahs for the curency right?)

Tango21 · 3 September 2008, 02:14 PM

Is that an M Series with the new 3186???

Can you run with that on?

Can you wear that to the beach?

What will happen if you sleep with it on?

Is the white face going to be worth more in the future?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm new here and am just trying to make the best decision regarding the purchase of a new watch that I'll probably never wear on my wrist.

That reminds me, you don't actually wear that watch do you?

Nice post Steve. Love the sarcasm!

Marrk · 3 September 2008, 02:56 PM

You have box and papers on that, right?

Box and papers? what do you think is in the pix, looks like a box and papers all in one

Wolfgang427 · 3 September 2008, 03:09 PM

Steve, your doctor was right, cut back on your drinking pal.

gone2vegas · 3 September 2008, 03:18 PM

is that a Serti dial?

ashu2289 · 3 September 2008, 03:19 PM

Congrats !!!!

cstegall · 3 September 2008, 03:23 PM

Steve...I'd like to pm you an offer....I take my meds every day at 1:50 p.m. and that watch is PERFECT for me!

Hopefully, the price for the "Ten 'til Two" Rolex is falling like the Milgauss GV.

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum if you stick around you may learn something. I am not an expert but I think you may have any early example of the Bart moon anniversary model. Normally this is is yellow. Your example is very rare and seems to be a rough prototype. I will have to consult my reference books but I think yours is the "barking at the moon" version.

I don't like the look of the hands they may have been replaced at some stage, anyway I sure one of our experts will be along later.

mmalek1 · 3 September 2008, 04:53 PM

Congrads on finding that one, I thinks its a great starter watch, dont wear it though, might decrease in value :)

horsefeathers · 3 September 2008, 05:25 PM

can't believe i signed on just to see the image!

portable75 · 3 September 2008, 09:48 PM

See I always said good deals could be found on EBAY!

thunderyacht · 3 September 2008, 11:04 PM

I don't believe you really have the watch, I think you stole the pics for this obviously very rare Rolex. Can you please take a picture of the watch with the hands at 5:35 PM and post them? I might be interested in purchasing this specimen; and I do mean "specimen."

mickeydainish · 3 September 2008, 06:25 PM

yes..... that is a prototype alright.... I would appreciate it if we could do a deal .... My GMT with cash ajustment????? PM me bro!!! :-)

toph · 3 September 2008, 06:54 PM

good one

stevemulholland3 · 3 September 2008, 07:41 PM

I am starting to wonder if maybe it has stop working,should I give it a good shake?
I think the problem is I was playing with it in the bubble bath last night and now the hands are moving really slow.
somebody pm me with my local AD and tell me exactly what they will charge to fine-tune this baby-I am ready for the CLUBS!!
(just having a go new guys-I really dont mind the repetitive the questions at all)
