About the reference 126610LN:
The Oyster casing of the Submariner has been scaled up from 40mm to 41mm for the first time in the history of the venerable brand. To casual watch enthusiasts, this might not seem like a huge deal, but to genuine collectors, it is. Particularly when discussing one of the most famous, iconic, and well appreciated timepieces in the world. Since the Submariner reference 16800 was released in 1979, the casing of the Submariner has been 40mm in diameter. Furthermore, at the time, the reference 1680, the previous generation, had a case size of 39.5mm, therefore the size increase was only.5mm. Consequently, this 1 mm leap is the largest in the history of the Submariner collection.
With a bigger case size, the new Submariner is sleek and returns the casing to its previous generations' gracefulness. Rolex achieved this by tapering and shrinking the lugs. The crown guards were also made thinner by them. Despite its little size, it truly has a significant impact. In order to enhance overall proportionality, Rolex was able to expand the case by removing that extra millimeter from the lugs.
The most notable modification to the new Submariner Date is its new engine, the Calibre 3235. For the previous two versions, the movement of the Rolex Submariner remained the same.
About this particular example:
This Submariner comes as a full set and it is in excellent condition, the watch is unpolished. It has a beautiful and traditional black dial and black bezel. It comes with an oyster bracelet with no stretch and full links.
