Hello,

I'm making my first post here tonight. My name is Gerard. I picked up my first Submariner last week. I bought it from a friend. I just want to say hello and show you the 16800. This piece keeps superb time and I am happy to own it. I hope the photo is okay, as I made it at work using my G1 phone. I'll be making quality shots with a true camera another time.
For now I just hope you like my Rolex! Thanks!

Gerard

Polo, nevermind wasting your time. I found the "ignore" feature here and added you on it. Wow, that was a first ever I had to do that on any forum! Anyway, thanks again for the nice comments everyone else.

You just got points for that remark. You have two choices:

1. Apologize.

2. Say goodbye.

The choice is yours.

SLS · 29 April 2009, 05:08 PM

Sweet looking 16800! You have the best of both worlds, the beauty of a matte dial, with the dependability and ruggedness of a sapphire crystal! Enjoy it!

Gerard, welcome to TRF, congratulations to a nice watch...and the picture is very good. I am never able to take a picture that good with a cell phone-camera!!!

Very nice..

redshirt1957 · 29 April 2009, 10:45 PM

I like that watch very much. Enjoy you stay here.

gerard88t · 5 May 2009, 02:48 AM

Hi everyone,

I want to share that I lucked out today and found genuine, unused Rolex 3035tritium hands for my 16800. My photo doesn't show it but it currently has newer SLN hands in place. I can't wait to put these on and complete the watch! I bought all hands the watch parts house had in their old stock, which was three sets

One never knows when they are needed, and I believe having genuine tritium hands back on the sub just increased its value as far as collectibility, right?

Thanks for reading,
Gerard

Welcome to TRF gerard!

Very nice acquisition!

And nice pic from your G1!

Yes, you were both lucky... and smart. Well done! That is a truly nice 16800 you have. Drop me a PM if you grow tired of it ;-)

Best,

A

gerard88t · 5 May 2009, 05:34 AM

Thanks Doc and A,

After learning some of the prices asked for these same hands, I am lucky!

I never knew they were so expensive until I started asking around the forums for them.
I may have to sell one set to help off set the price I paid. Pricey devils!

Gerard

gerard88t · 5 May 2009, 05:47 AM

once I get the white gold framed SLN Rolex hands off the 16800 , are they worth reselling? I need to recover some of the cash I put out for the original tritium hands.

Thanks!
Gerard
