Good morning, Swiss Watch lovers. Here we have today a Rolex unboxing of Submariner 16613. It's a two-tone Submariner and I'm gonna show you what it looks like when it comes out of the factory. This watch actually isn't produced anymore so this is a used watch but this is what it would look like if it came out of the factory. Ta-dah! And this Submariner here is special for a lot of reasons and today I'm gonna show you why it's special, how it's different from other Submariners of this same model year, and some cool things about this one versus other ones. And what you're looking at here is a two-tone Sub. It's got no-holes and I'm gonna tell you what that means in just a moment. It's got single end links along with a gold-through clasp. And by the time we finish this video, you'll know what all that means. It's got a 3135 movement and, again, I'm going to explain all that in just a little bit. I want you to just take a look, how cool this piece looks. And this watch has actually been discontinued as of 2008. It's been replaced with a newer version which is a 116613 Submariner and we have a separate video on that one if you subscribe to our page. For now, I'm gonna just show you this Sub. So this Submariner is a D Serial and it's from 2006. They made this model year from roughly 2004 until 2008 and nothing changed between that time. And, you remember, a moment ago I was showing you what no-holes case means, well, take a look at the side of this case. Do you see any holes? Because this is no-holes. So what that means is the clasp, as you see it here, is connected to the case of the watch without any holes. That's why it's called a no-holes case. And I'm going to point to that with this pointer here, you see, you see how it doesn't connect with any hole. And that's different from the holes case which was produced from 2000 until 2004. And why is that significant? Well, sometimes people like to change the band on this thing because, you know, it's cool to have a leather band or a NATO strap, or whatever. And so it made it very easy. You could just press the hole right there, and the hole actually would be right here, where I'm pointing. Yeah, you would actually just press it and then the bracelet would basically come off. But now, you actually need a tool to get in here and, you know, remove the bracelet, which is obviously not as easy as it was when they had the holes. And that's a good thing, it's a bad thing, it depends on whether you want to remove the bracelet often or not. Anyways, the no-holes version that you're looking at here was produced between 2004 and 2008 and it's no longer being produced, meaning it's likely to be a collector's item. You can pass it this down to your kids and they can pass it down and so on and so forth. And it's just gonna be a very collectible, awesome, awesome piece. The next thing I want to show you is this is what's called single end link and that means just what it sounds like. This is the end link and it's a single piece, as opposed to a double end link which would have two pieces connected. And that changed. From 1990 until 1999, they used a double end piece. And from 2000 until 2008, they used a single end link. And that is important because it makes the bracelet adhere to the case stronger. It also looks nicer and is more flush and it also is more expensive. So that's the second thing, second single end link. Now I'm gonna show you what a gold-through clasp is. Gold-through clasp on this piece as you see is exactly what it sounds like. Gold going through the clasp. And this part from here to here is the clasp. And this gold that is going through the clasp would be the gold-through clasp. And this occurred from 2000 until 2008. And from 1990 to 1999 it was all steel from where you see my pointer here to my pointer over here. And that was all steel. There's some positives about that and there's some negatives about that. Positive about that is that, well, it looks very clean, right? You see gold going through the entire band. But on a steel-through it stops at the clasp. The good thing about having a steel-through is that when you put this on your wrist and you're working at your desk typing away at your computer that the clasp doesn't get beat up because gold is a lot softer than steel. So, it can get scratched, it can get dented, and what not. But on a steel-through, which were produced from 1990 to 1999, won't really have that issue. So sometimes people actually prefer the older version. So, you know, it just depends on what you like. So that's what has changed, basically those three things. And another cool thing that has changed on this model year, this 2006 model as opposed to 1990 models, is that you see the dial where it says SWISS MADE? That occurred from 1999 until 2008. Before that, it actually said T SWISS T. And you see where my pointer is pointing, right there right at the six o'clock position? Yeah, that used to say T SWISS T and after the year 2000 it changed to SWISS MADE. And that's because these hour markers where made of tritium and that's what the T stood for. T less than 25. I think 25 referred to some unit of tritium meaning that there was less than 25 units of this tritium. Anyways, you can look that up. So that was one of the major differences. And another cool difference is that in this year they have this dark blue. You see how dark it is? And Rolex, when they produced the newer version of this, they had it really light and it just looked, you know, kinda funny. But this is a very dark blue as opposed to what they called The Smurf and, you know, the darker blue ended up being a much better seller than the lighter blue. And I think Rolex realized that and they stopped production of that lighter blue. So this retains that older blue and making it a very, very popular model. I'm gonna show you what it looks like on my wrist. There you have it. Check us out at Jaztime.com where you can purchase these watches that you've seen on review. And subscribe to our page.
