Perfect proportions, modern, durable and reliable movement, and classic Sub looks with the cleaner 2 lines of text on the dial. A perfect everyday Rolex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this particular version that little bit more special is the fact it's what Rolex collectors refer to as a 'Tritinova' dial. In the late 90's Rolex began transitioning from Tritium to Luminova for their hands and dials. They clearly still had tritium-denoted dial blanks on hand, so instead of wasting them they used Luminova on a Tritium-designated dial. A cool piece of Rolex history, and something Rolex collectors love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example was produced in circa-1998 and and presents in very good vintage condition. The case shows wear, but remains thick with even lugs, and correct finishes. Clear numbers between the lugs, with a U727XXX serial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bezel shows some light marks, and has an aged tritium pip. The dial is very clean, with no blemishes we can see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSapphire crystal shows minor marks, with no chips\/gouges present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet is a Rolex 93150 with 8 links, and 501B endlinks and would fit roughly a 7in wrist at full extension. Shows some stretch commensurate with its age, and desk dive marks throughout. Clasp Coronet is pronounced. Clasp is dated U10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApparently serviced by a dealer prior to being sold to the current owner in 2022, though no records to back this up. Currently keeping COSC time at 300+ degrees of amplitude when measured dial-up on a timegrapher so we have no reason to doubt this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo box or papers.
