Icon20 Submariner 25 years after...>>>>>>>

It looks just like when it was new...
This is how they look when you are mean and you only service them on the inside..

Is it legal in US to strap a watch on a ferret?

What a great looking watch and a testament to the durability of the submariner and Rolex in general. I love how you have kept the watch untouched on the outside. Gives it character in my opinion. Simply awesome

I have no intention of having mine polished at service time.

It's a pointless exercise in my opinion.

Could do without all the arm hair, but what a nice piece. Congrats!

Some might say this belongs in the vintage forum....

Very, very nice!! My 16610LV, bought new, worn 24/7 even in shower, seawater, bed, travelling, will never be polished. That is a real role story! Keep it in good health.
