Serial number " brothers "
Hello Bill, if their assumptions are accurate, after carefully analyzing the clock of Philipp and the mine I can confirm without any doubt that the clock of Philipp and the mine are "brothers" (can check by studying two watches) This gives to suppose that it is not a printing error, as some say, but in my opinion, prototypes or pre-series production of the network , the two have the 2.1xx xxx serial number.
Thank you your interest by my watch, I am very proud to own it.
I am at your disposal for any clarification or provide more data

Please share some pictures - So many prototypes
Very interesting ho hard it was for Rolex to get this right. They seem to not understand the printing process? Please show some pictures. Thanks Bill
SUB . Non MINUTE track
Hi Bill. Thanks for your interest, I can not post pictures on this site, if you are interested in them, please, I need an e-mail and the shipping. Miquel
Beautiful example - Pefect condition
I am wondering now if you have the first original prototype and that Phillip has the other original prototype. Thank you very much for sharing such a beautiful watch . Rolex is full of mysteries and you helped us solve one more. I would love to make a new...

Thanks for the picture. I find that aesthetically speaking, they are very impressive.
As for their history, I would love to learn more aabout them. Indeed, these are very strange birds. When you thjink that it is a diving watch AND a chronometer, they should have, for these 2 reasons, the minute indexes. For collectors, that must be a majo...
Non MINUTE teack
As you know if you have made diving from some depth indistinguishable minute rates and are therefore "useless" for that we also have the rotating bezel and also remember that this watch is not a mass production .. Miquel
Bird ?
indeed, the bezel also has divisions of minutes (only the top 15) and is a very important element of precision
" Fish " would be more approrpiate, indeed.
But I fear that the 15 minute indexes on the insert are not enough... It could be if all the insert was graduated. BUT I feel that it is not the most important detail on this watch. ;) Best, nicolas
Daytona P.Newman... Rare bird ?
I'll tell you more, rolex is full of inconsistencies like this, take for example the area of Daytona Paul Newman, is beautiful, but without minute markers, however is a precision tool (served to RACETIMER)
Merry Christmas
thank you for your sensitivity and warmly thank the exchange of ideas that has provided me .... is a wonderful watch and I congratulate you see it well. I hope someday to have the fortune to show it to you personally. Merry Christmas
That would be my great pleasure.
Not only to see the watch in the real, but to meet a new friend. Best, Nicolas
New freind , thanks
Thanks, Nicolas, for offering your friendships, which I really value, I also have a new friend
Amazing post and amazing watches!! Thanks to Jeff and other ...
... timepieces owners for sharing their examples and information about these most awesome Subs! Best cordial regards, Abel.
I hope to bring some new light about the model
There appears to be several which changes the story a little for the concept of a prototype. I will make a new post soon to discuss some more. Stay tuned. Best Bill
New post
fantastic! I just want to stay away from the new post, the envious and the ignorant, thanks Bill for opening a new window in the history of the Submariner, Philipp Stahl would be interesting to participate since it also has a "non MINUTE track" like mine
Welcome HoMe
Hello stranger, Welcome back! That dial looks like new but obviously, the hands are of some age. How did the watch avoid humidity all these years? Regards, MTF
Confusing if you can reset posting date like that
Thanks for explaining original poster has not actually returned. I was fooled and got excited. Regards, MTF
