Extremely cool 16808 Submariner from 1988.  The dial has evenly faded from blue to a tropical mauve sunburst color which literally changes color depending on what light you are in - also hands are original .  The case has been polished in the past however is in excellent vintage condition with easily readable numbers between the lugs.  The insert is a faded blue insert added in after the fact however still original rolex and the original blue insert which was scratched up will be included in the sale.  The bracelet is original to the watch and fully linked with full diver extension and the clasp crown is still all there and the band is tight with light play in the links.  The movement is running as it should and keeping excellent time.  Just an amazing find.  most dials like this are badly and unevenly discolored or damaged - this one is not.
