Housed in a 40mm round stainless steel case, this Submariner Date carries the hallmarks of one of Rolex's most enduring dive watch references. The screw-in crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal are intact, while the blue bezel insert and dial — both aftermarket replacements — lend the watch a striking oceanic character. Water resistance is rated to 300m/1000ft.
Power comes from a self-winding movement, and the serial number places this example in the 8-million production range. The bracelet combines stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, giving the piece its distinctive two-tone appeal. The watch is described as being in good condition.
This Submariner Date reference 16803 comes accompanied by the original Rolex box. The aftermarket dial and insert are clearly noted, and buyers should factor this into their consideration of the piece.
