Rolex Submariner 16610 full set with original tritium dial and hands, it belonged to a Canadian soldier who served with our troops during the Persian Gulf War in the early 90s, one owner. Was bought in a Canadian Forces Exchange in Germany. With Stamped papers that says “Canadian Force Exchange Europe”. It’s very cool. It’s a Canadian Mil-Sub in a way :) He sold me the watch himself, was an honor hearing some of the stories.

It’s now for sale $15500 shipped in Canada.

Original boxes, all the papers, both tags and anchor. Even the original 16610 sticker on the box. 11.5 links, fits up to 7.5” wrists at least and includes 2 removable links plus dive extension. Watch has been polished once by Rolex but lugs are thick and even. Some “battle wounds” do still remain, non crown side of the case has a mark, bezel has some scratches and the crystal has micro fleabites around the edge (All original parts and condition remained). Service paper from Rolex dated 1997. All parts kept original to this watch. The dial and hands have patina to a warm creamy tone, it’s very obvious in person but a bit hard to capture on photos.

Watch just came back from service from my local watchmaker today (Mar 30th 2022), it’s running perfectly and winds very smooth. All functions as it should.

$15500 shipped in Canada.

Thank you!
