The case features thick, sharp lugs, indicating a previous polish while retaining its strong profile. Paired with an Oyster bracelet in excellent condition, showing minimal stretch and fitted with 11 links, the watch offers comfort and durability. Its 8.7 million serial number confirms its production year, solidifying its historical significance. Though the movement’s service history is unknown, it runs accurately, ensuring dependable performance. This Submariner 16800 is a remarkable example of Rolex’s enduring design and functionality, perfect for collectors seeking a piece with character and history. **Reference:** 16800 **Size:** 40mm **Year:** 1985 🏞️ [Album](https://imgur.com/a/cY6FCFl) ☑️ [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/ogK0zjv) 📜 Includes: Custom travel pouch ($50+ value) 💵 Price: $7,995 + FREE overnight shipping with FedEx fully insured. 🔥 Followers on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bogossiajewelers) get up to $1,000 off based on items price 🔥 📍 Location: New York 🔒 Authenticity: 100% guaranteed, buy with confidence.
