Ahhhhhh! Nothing like a new GRAIL! Rolex has always been my ultimate grail. I wore my Sub C just over a week ago, took a look at my wrist and though it was nice, but it did not create a “tingle.” I said to myself, I need my Rolie to stick out among the herd. I can’t afford all gold so 18K/SS should work but how about something a little different than the Blue/Gold or Black Gold Sub. Bingo! How about a Serti Dial with Diamonds and Sapphires!! The hunt was on and for once timing was on my side and I swung a deal giving up my Sub C for my now new to me Rolex Submariner 16613 Serti Dial! I went back and forth on Slate or Champagne but decided on the Slate. Since these are no longer in production, pre-owned was the only route. It was difficult to find one with everything but I got lucky. I dealt with a great guy in NYC and we had the deal done in two days. This Rolex is the perfect ending to my renewed "Tingle!"

Yeah...big fan of the slate, here too. Congrats!

Dan Pierce · 9 August 2015, 01:35 AM

I love silver dials. This is a great combo and probably the only watch w/ precious stones I'd feel comfortable wearing.

beautiful watch!!

Runnin' Rebel · 9 August 2015, 02:40 AM

Hi Gary,
Stunning reference. I traded mine unfortunately to upgrade to 116619 but it was a beauty. The silver dial with the aluminum bezel was as close to perfect IMO. I got over it though, I hope you enjoy.

brettpaul · 9 August 2015, 02:47 AM

Stunning watch - that is the best Serti combo IMHO.

Briannourse · 9 August 2015, 02:50 AM

Lovely, great photos and the condition of the watch is excellent. You have definitely looked after it.

Mr. K · 9 August 2015, 03:17 AM

Nice, interesting you have the gold through clasp but lug holes. Maybe a K SN? Y perhaps?

mailman · 9 August 2015, 03:23 AM

Pics do not do this watch justice. The dial is beautiful in person. Congrats and enjoy

LuminousMaximus · 9 August 2015, 03:23 AM

Hey, we both just traded for a unique Sub! Your watch is awesome! Those diamonds Rolex uses I believe are like VVS quality. They are going to really bling in the sun. Great job

The OP's watch is a K. You can see it in the tag in one of the pics. It could have been a late A SN also
