Attention: Submariner Enthusiasts -- Unusual Item For Sale on eBay!

I'm not selling this but stumbled across it while doing a Rolex Submariner-related search on eBay:



Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Wow -- is someone putting these together in their basement or are these authentic Rolex collectibles?

As far as I know those ones were made as advertisement pieces in the 60ies and 70ies. The ORIGINAL ones, that is!

But YES, you are absolutely right! Most of them are fakes and made in the cellar

The dial colour was never like that, and not a quartz either.

Change the dial color and authentic or not I think it's REALLY cool.

Hi Ruben,

You didn't snap it up on eBay, did you?

It's no longer listed.
