Very Rare, Vintage R-Series Year 1987.R-Series is the first batch 16613 with Alphahet Serial no. 'R'= Rolex.First batch with Sapphire crystal.-Very nice Serial no: R8888XX.300M/1000FT Water Resistance.
Very special, rare and orignal dial. Thick gold plated hourly indicator. Gold plated ROLEX CROWN BADGE LOGO below 12hrs! Rolex only produced this Dial design 16613 for about 6mths and very limited in quantity. Later Rolex changed to the modern 16613 dial as what you see today.
As it is Vintage, the watch condition is 95% mint, like very much like new. Just send it to Rolex ctr for overhaul and the watch is like new. But I didn't change the dial as the dial is very rare. -New model 16613 at retail cost about $11K. This watch is basically priceless as no more in production.-Watch comes with Box, card holder, booklets and anchor. Watch was recently inspected by Rolex ctr. This watch keeps execellent timing with no problems in power reserve .
This watch I'm asking for $8,500. You may find the price steep but pleae do consider the value of this watch which is increasingly rare. It is "nipple dial" is gold plated hourly indicators and gold rolex badged. Therefore this price/ is low for a collector's value and its future price.
I m also letting go of some of my collection of daytona, such as the daytona white face which is extremely rare in Asia.
I alos have the double red sea dweller MKIV. I bought this from a good friend of mine for USD$18,500. This watch is up for offer now at price/s above what I have paid for. Do check the link for rolex/ Red sea dwellers history:
