Pre-owned Rolex Submariner ref 16618 (1999) was the last full gold Rolex Submariner to sport an aluminum bezel before it was discontinued to make way for the first generation of 6-digit ceramic bezel watches. Many collectors prefer this design to the more contemporary Submariner because it has a nostalgic and timeless appeal with a narrower case, smaller crown guards, and an older-style aluminum bezel. Some argue that this design set flies a little more under the radar than 6-digit models, which is contradictory because gold Rolex watches like this one hardly go unnoticed in the wild. Still, this ref. 16618 is a very tempting option for anyone in the market for a coveted gold Rolex with the sporty aesthetic of a dive watch. It features a striking blue dial with gold and Super-LumiNova hour markers, a matching blue bezel, sapphire crystal, and the caliber 3135 Perpetual movement with a Quickset date.

Excellent condition for a 30 year old watch, Probably not worn much, but it will be now. Alexa and Tanya were both knowledgeable, professional, and were willing to answer my dopey questions. I also own a president Rolex. Does this make me a collector now?
Everything went smooth and seamless! Wired 23k plus and received the watch in great condition with box and papers! Highly recommend! Alex was an excellent customer service person.
Watch was as advertised. FedEx delivery overnight was on time Salesperson was very helpful. Thanks
Just got my new relax love it ! First time ever ordered jewelry online. I felt a little crazy wiring the money for a piece of jewelry I have not seen But I was wrong they came to me by FedEx and it was perfect.
Owning and wearing the yellow gold Rolex Submariner with the blue face and bezel is something I will never get tired of. Well done Bob's for making it affordable.
Received next day and it looks great. I love wearing it around the office.
