The Red Sub is an important piece for vintage Rolex fans, seen as a key piece in a serious collection. However important these watches are viewed by collectors, we simply love them for that red line and cool-tool vibe that they exude. And as we have been saying, finding really great vintage is getting harder and yet investing in these pieces makes a lot of sense in the current market.

This example has a Mk5 dial, with crisp red text and super vivid toned lume on the hour plots.
The hands are a nice match with the hours too.
The case is strong, very strong.. all factory shapes are beautifully present. 
With even lugs and the crown guards.

The bezel insert has beautifully faded to a dark blue colour and it has an associated lume pearl fitted. The folded link Oyster bracelet, ref 9315, is in excellent condition and has reference 380 endlinks and a PATETED-stamped clasp.
The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

Our founder Bernhard Bulang upon seeing this beauty stated: “Ahhh, this is like an old school red sub which we liked to collect back in the days”. That says it all. Get in touch quickly!
