I fell in love with with this Submariner...

I saw in Phillips' Rolex Milestone auction preview in Singapore recently..

This particular one, the reference 6536 (not 6536/1) , some call it double reference (you'll see in the picture of the case back below), with a Red Depth print and in amazing condition..


Right, dial is not smooth, but probably this is as good as it gets for this reference or any early Submariner, and when I say early, this one comes from the mid 50s , and only comes after 6200, 6204 & 6205.

I also heard that it is thought to be amongst the rarest Submariner reference ever made..



As you can see on the picture of the case back, and that's the reason some call it double reference 6536 / 8..



If I can dream and choose to pick one Vintage Submariner, this particular reference at this condition , might be the one for me..

Well... Hopefully one day....

Best,


Sam

The double ref is indeed very rare, the red writing is cool, albeit I\'ve never seen a dial in wonderful condition (maybe because the radium dust + humidity). Lately I also have a spot for small crowns, I think it\'s still and undervalued watch - well no ... 

Well...

That is true what you said Chris.. This particular one is really cool, and I can assure you, in metal is so much better !! But I don't think I will try my luck bidding on this, not a good time after the GMT, and I know some good friends who's after this, ... 

I'm pretty sure Nicolas!

This particular one is really one of the most exciting Submariner I've seen so far

Indeed it is ! [nt]
