Trying to get some info on my watch
Hey guys my last post got deleted, I must have posted something wrong, so I am going to try again. Admin sorry for my earlier post. I apologize if i did something or said something wrong in my previous post, that was my first thread my apologies. I was just trying to get some info on the Kermit Submariner that I have. Maintenance, things to look for, any info will help me. I appreciate it. It seems like there are different variations or year models. Or is there a good way to get a value on it etc. It was given to me over 10 years ago and i haven't worn it much, partially due to the fact I thought it was fake until I had it looked at a few years back. Thanks guys I appreciate it.
found the engravings on the watch face too I don't exactly know what they mean 16610-t and Y965687 I hope this post better fits the guidelines, again my apologies for the first post |

To get a value for it, maybe take it to an AD or grey dealer and see what they say
Or campare it to similar pieces for sale online |

Things to look out for...
Don’t get it wet while the crown is unscrewed Better yet, make sure the crown is always screwed down when you are not setting the time or date or winding the watch For maintenance, wear it first If it keeps good time, i would keep using it until it no longer does Welcome to the forum! This is actually a really nice place You’ll learn a lot on here |

You said you had it looked at a few years back. Do elaborate

Well in a nut shell I always wondered if it was real being it was given to me as a gift. Brought it to high end jeweler and Rolex dealer here in town, and they told me yes this is a real Rolex. So at that point I started wearing to Church and special occasions. They took the band off and gave me the #'s stamped on the watch face.

You could take it back and get it appraised for value. Also have them pressure test the watch to check for water resistance. Other than that, enjoy your watch. I would wear it for more than just church and special occasions. |

The guy at the Jeweler was trying to buy it from me, I considered it. But I figured they would take advantage of me since I don't know much about the watch and I left with it, LOL

If you google that serial number a fake one comes up. And if you see the picture I’m talking about it doesn’t remotely look like a real Rolex serial engraving.

It’s 2020. Those r the worst pictures I’ve ever seen.
It’s fake unless you post better pics. Hopefully the mods remove this thread as well. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would find your watch highly questionable.
A Y serial should be a Mark1 dial and flat four bezel. The Y serial were the first Kermits released. You may have a regular sub with a green bezel.... |

Your pictures are not so clear but I can say with certainty that the crown is definitely not authentic and the crown guards are totally misshaped.

I'm just having a hard time thinking a Rolex dealer that took the watch apart and told me it was a real Rolex, lied about it or got it wrong, but then wanted to purchase it as well. I dunno maybe, Jeweler has the absolute best reputation in town and sells extremely expensive items.
