The “Red” Sub, one of the most historic vintage pieces that was made by
Rolex. I recall around 12 years ago when I started my career as a
watchmaker glancing over at my first Submariner. I thought to myself, “Now
this is one heck of a watch.” The broad sports style case, the black on black
dial and insert, and oh yeah…the creamy patina plots and hands. I guess I
was so excited looking over the watch that I failed to observe the one thing
that made me instantly fall in love-those bold letters in red
reading “Submariner”.
Here is a gorgeous Mark lV with the most beautiful patina. I enjoyed bringing
this piece back to life and reminiscing those days of working on my first love.
