FS: Rolex Submariner 16808 18K Tropical Purple Circa 1984

For sale from Hashtag Watch Co. is this Vintage Rolex Submariner 16808 wristwatch circa 1984. A truly interesting piece, the original blue dial has aged over the past 34 years into a tropical purple color. Not only has it turned purple, but has a continually gradient transition from blue to purple. There are a couple small scratches on the dial at the 11 o'clock but are not very noticeable. The 18K Oyster case is in excellent condition and is fully hallmarked/ stamped. The 18K Yellow Gold 92908 Oyster bracelet does show some signs of polishing on outer side of clasp, but otherwise is in great condition and also includes the 18K diving extension piece. Three removable links are included and will fit a 7.5" wrist size. The caliber 3035 Oyster Perpetual automatic movement is running and keeping time. Sapphire crystal is free of scratches and has the Rolex logo at 6 o'clock position.
