The very first dual-tone Submariner was the ref. 16803, which came to market in 1983. A transition model, the Submariner was considered the steel and gold variation of the 16800 and was equipped with a then-new calibre 3035 perpetual movement as well as a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an improved depth rating of up to 1,000 feet. This variation of the brand's diver was only in production for a few short years, making it a bit harder to find on the pre-owned Rolex market. The ref. 16803 that is presented here today pairs the two-tone finish with a handsome black dial topped with a luminous display and a matching black aluminum bezel insert with gold 60-minute graduations. If you're in the market for a used vintage Sub with an intriguing history and timeless style, the ref. 16803 is an excellent option to consider.

My purchase was very easy. And that means a lot I had a horrible experience purchasing from a competitor. My representative for Bobs was very helpful and my watch was delivered promptly.
Love my new watch. Couldn't be happier with this Rolex watch.
Matched pictures as advertised. Delivered on time. This was my Third purchase from Bob’s, a Date Just and Date Just mid-size for my wife, maybe a year ago, same great experience then, and knowing us, we’ll be back for more.
