The Submariner is one of the most acclaimed collections by Rolex, known for its impeccable reliability as a diver watch. Over the years, it has been graced with several updates and modifications, yet comparatively is the least changed model in Rolex’s repertoire. In 2014, this Ref. 116618 made an appearance, offering a luxurious style via the 18k yellow gold case and bracelet.

The case measures 40mm, featuring brushed and polished finishes and well-proportioned heft. Thanks to the size and elegant appeal, the watch offers great wearability. On the clean, legible dial, we are welcomed by a stark black display featuring an orderly arrangement through luminous hour markers and the signature text in contrasting white hue. The date window is tucked at its characteristic three o’clock position, and the bezel is unidirectional, forged in ceramic for a recognizable Rolex look.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
