Submariner Kermit Rehault query

[zen123]

I'm looking to get a Submariner Kermit from 2009. I've been sent pics of the watch which looks pretty good but I noticed it doesn't have the engraved rehault. The seller says its a 2009 watch.

I have also asked him to send pictures of the box and papers which he will do later so did the watches from that period have the plastic card and wavy box or the old school box and papers.

Thanks

If it's an M or V it'll have an engraved rehaut. If it's Z, it may or may not have the rehaut engraved as this started on Submariners around 2006-7 during Z.

It could be a 2009 sold watch (sat in AD safe for a while) but it would be Z or pre Z serial.

What serial is it?

Before you buy, post the pictures please. Would be curious to see which dial and bezel it has.

I did a bit of online research and according to one well known resource the watch i am looking to buy has

C1 case
B4 bezel
D4 dial

EO bracelet clasp code

It is a Z serial which dates it to around 2006 production. The watch itself is in fine condition, never polished, edges on the case are still crispy & well defined, the polished sides having only the normal hairline marks.

The brushed surfaces of bracelet have the inevitable light surface marks. No dings or dents to any of the surfaces.

Another question I have is as the watch is a 2006 Z serial but was not sold till 2009 as written on the warranty card, would it have come with the manuals and booklets dated 2006 or 2009?
