Rolex Submariner RED Meters First Dial Sells For $10,000.

Yes you read that right, this dial sold for a little over $10,000.00.  It was an original Rolex Submariner flat black dial with Submariner being printed in RED.  The other thing that made this dial worth much more is that it has the meters listed first rather than the more common version that lists the feet first. 

Another version of this dial would be what is known as the Double Red.  We will post some pictures of the Double Red version later.

Below are some pictures of this dial.  Note the original details as well as the black colored flat background of the dial.

Rolex Mid-Size Registered Design 68000. DateJust.

The Registered Design 68000 is a mid-sized Rolex watch that is made of stainless steel.  The interesting thing about this watch is the fact that it uses a typical ladies 2135 Rolex movement.   The dials have the usual Rolex markings.

The movement fits into a spacer ring which allows it to fit into the larger case.

These are very good running watches.  The crystal is sapphire.

Rolex Sapphire Crystal Conversion For Rolex Design 16030. 295C Crystal.

Sapphire crystal conversions for Rolex watches are available now from Antique Time http://www.horologist.com/.

The following men's Rolex is a Registered Design number 16030.  This model uses a higher than normal plastic crystal.  In order to convert this model to a sapphire crystal requires a taller nylon crystal gasket.  When the new sapphire crystal is installed the bezel may have to be replaced with a higher machined bezel in order to completely cover the nylon gasket.  When adding a diamond bezel to this watch after the conversion has been installed a slightly thicker diamond bezel can be used to compensate for the heigth difference.

All of the pictures below show the 16030 design after the conversion crystal has been installed.
