Trying to get some info on my watch

[rroche1982]

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

Cyclops looks a little off in the top picture.

Do you have any paperwork, warranty card etc. or watch only?

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

probably not a good picture, it looks straight in person, i had to resize the image and may have messed up the original image quality

no paperwork or anything, just watch

[kieselguhr]

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.

[Craigdwh]

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

Which # is the serial #?

[Chewbacca]

Save your money, OP.

[djgallo]

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 right it's 2020 where did you get the vintage Sweater?

[Alan111]

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.

You’re probably right about them talking advantage

[Masteryacht]

Looks fake.

There is no serial number engraved on the watch face?

Or the rehaut for that matter

Maybe I didn't explain that right, the serial and model #'s are behind the watch band where it connects. Band had to be removed in order to see them

[rroche1982]

Also the watch band has 93250 engraved on it, close to the watch face as well

[Deroya]

looks off to me.

[rroche1982]

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.

whats the best way to load pictures on here? All the pictures I take with my cell phone or surface tablet, it tells me i have to resize them. which messes up the clarity and sizing of the original image
