**Imgur pics:** [https://imgur.com/a/kTdtAYf](https://imgur.com/a/kTdtAYf) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/kRIReqc](https://imgur.com/kRIReqc) I'm listing my exceptional 1984 Rolex Submariner ref. 16800, a piece I've loved for a while now and after wearing it, it's hard to look back at plain dial Rolexes. This watch showcases Rolex's unparalleled craftsmanship, with one of the most robust movements Rolex has made, and further is given character by its genuine aging process falling in between the transitional phase where Rolex was testing its dial variations. The wear gives it exceptional character, and the even and distinctive spider dial of this watch marks it as a truly rare watch. This 16800 tells has been frequently worn and loved, with a single owner before myself. The slight patina on the indices, the lume on the second's hand being off due to the time and lume becoming 'dry', and the original bezel bearing signs of wear all show that this can be the ultimate tool watch. The date wheel, with unique red marks between the dates 11 and 14, adds another layer of intrigue in my eyes. The crown does not screw down entirely most of the time currently, which I suspect may by a cleaning issue. The watch functions and currently gives a couple minutes of loss per day from my observation. The watch is scheduled for a service next week. However, for potential buyers who'd prefer to get it serviced independently or through their trusted watchmaker, that's completely up to you. It's worth noting that despite the upcoming service or overhaul, if the watch has not been purchased before then, I will not increase the asking price if someone chooses to purchase it now and receive it post-service. **Watch Details:** \- Rolex Submariner 16800, 40mm case. \- Quality aftermarket bracelet. \- Three original bezels: one well-worn, another newer, and a slightly faded version. \- Aged spider dial, indices with a light patina, and a unique red-markers on parts of the date wheel. \- Quality dome crystal replacement, with the original also included (in nice condition overall) \- Two new Olpr. leather bands in both black and brown, both complement the watch very well. I can include one or both. \- Original spring bars included. \- Original 3035 movement, never serviced \- Serial is 84xxxxx, dating to 1984 **Price:** I’m asking for **$14,400 shipped OBO** for this 16800. Please send your offers. The distinctive spider dial of this 16800, combined with its wear, offers a unique aesthetic appeal, making it a particularly eye-catching piece for vintage Rolex enthusiasts like myself. **Trade Offers:** While I'm exploring trade options, I am leaning towards deals with a more significant cash component. A local sale or trade is preferable. All pictured accessories, including the leather bands, genuine crystal, and bezels, will all be part of the deal. **Payment Method:** For reliable buyers, we can finalize a mutually agreeable payment mode. Due to some recent experiences, Zelle or wire transfers are preferred, with the prime goal being a secure and smooth transaction. **Reason for selling:** One key reason behind this sale involves a high-transaction user on Reddit Watch Exchange retaining a substantial portion of my funds unlawfully for over 2 months now. I deeply appreciate the moderators for their unwavering support throughout this situation. \_\_\_\_ This 1984 Rolex 16800, with its distinctive spider dial, isn't just a watch; it's a piece of history.
