2022 Luxury Rolex Submariner Stainless Steel 16800
Timothy Dalton shot to fame as James Bond in License to Kill, and although the watch is only a flash in the pan throughout the movie, the replica Rolex Submariner 16800 has become a classic watch with attitude. The Rolex watches worn by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, and Roger Moore were more formal looking, but Timothy Dalton’s Rolex was the first to include an enlarged date bubble on a sapphire crystal. Interestingly, Dalton was also the last Bond to wear a Rolex, after a long period of dormancy due to legal wrangling in the film. By the time Bond was allowed to return to the screen, the world had changed, and designers saw other brands as more modern and appropriate.
However, regardless of what the makers of the Bond films thought, you will rarely find a better classic than the Rolex Submariner watch, and the stainless steel 16800 is one of the finest watches in its class. In fact, the 16800 is a harbinger of things to come, and it has more in common with modern Rolex watches than it does with earlier Bond styles. In addition, the 16800 is a great value vintage watch that is priced just a little higher than the new Submariner.
The earliest water-resistant replica watches were designed by Rolex for divers and others who needed a waterproof watch that could be easily seen underwater. They featured easy-to-read numerals that showed up in dim light and water-resistant cases that could withstand water pressure up to 100 meters. Later, advancing technology-enabled Submarines to withstand 300 meters or nearly 1,000 feet of water.
It is hard to imagine a more “typical” Submariner than the 16800 and with most of the best features of the line. This watch has it all and is the epitome of Submariner technology, including various advantages.
