168000 is here!
Hi guys,
Well I made up my mind, this sub is singing to me.  Can't understand how it can be in such a great condition!! Originally bought in 1988, it's a 9-serial. One owner before me. With box and papers, which I understood is rare..? Anyways, here she is:

One question, the winding crown has ofcourse the usual three dots from triplock, but they are crater formed, ie with a hollow center, sort of like "o". Also the five tops on the Rolex "crown" logo is the same, not plops, but circular hollow "o".
Just wondering as I haven't seen this before.

Cool. Gotta love the extra zero 168000's. Made for such a short period of time, destined to be collectable. More so than it is now. Great find. Enjoy

Strange that SUCH A REAR rolex isn't more sought after
While some stupid red writing doubbles the price, this real rare Rolex still has no serious premium, I don't get it |
