Classic Sub 16613LB Flat S Back from Service
Hey guys (and gals)...I just wanted to post a pic of the first Rolex I ever owned just back from service. I purchased the watch in March of 1996 (preowned) and I think it dates back to 1989 or 90.
It was a daily wearer until I started "collecting" and wearing ceramics around 2010. This watch has been sitting in the safe for the last 10 years so I figured I would get her serviced and the watch looks stunning. This 16613 also sports a "Flat S" tritium dial, which is on the rarer side, as you can see, the "S" in the word "Submariner" is written like a backward "Z". I think it is a real testament to the timeless Rolex design philosophy that a watch this old can look this freaking good. I just wanted to share...hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Wonderful! My husband has the black TT 16613 (circa 1998...lug holes!) and it looks great! Your “Bluesy” Sub is the watch that made me fall in love with Rolex!
