Additional Informations: This no-date Submariner from 1969 features the rare “fat serif dial.” Distinctive for this dial variant are the fine serifs on the text and hour markers, which give the watch a refined sense of depth and unmistakable vintage character. Both the dial and hands retain their original tritium lume, which has aged to a warm and even patina. Completing the overall aesthetic is an original T19 superdomed plexiglass, adding to the period-correct charm.
The watch is fitted with an original Rolex C&I rivet bracelet, stamped 1976. Produced for the American market, the bracelet remains in very good condition with only minimal stretch — a rare and desirable detail that enhances the watch's authenticity.
The case has been carefully refinished by an experienced vintage specialist. No invasive techniques such as laser welding were used. The case sides are perfectly straight, the chamfers are well-defined, and the original brushing on the lugs has been beautifully preserved — a true highlight for any collector of classic Submariners.
