Overhauling a Rolex Submariner from 1986

- In this video, we perform a full service to a classic Rolex Submariner ref# 16800 from 1986's.
Please note that when our client brought this 1986 Submariner in for an overhaul, we noticed that he had modded it with a lime green bezel insert, a characteristic of the 50th anniversary 16610V Submariner edition; in other words, this is not that Rolex Kermit. In fact, it's not a Kermit at all, since the 2003 edition was when the Kermit was actually created. It is the more “vintage” 16800 reference Sub.
Nevertheless, the servicing of this older Submariner is not affected by the above mentioned modifications.
This is not our watch but rather a job that was assigned to us by our friends over at CRM Jewelers.

@chronosky which size had the bergeon #30610 tool, to easily remove the canon pinion from the mainspring?
I love your watchmaking videos, they are very impressive!
I didn't realise Rolex submariners from 1986 had green bezel inserts.
That is true! the owner swapped the bezel insert for the green one.
And a superluminova service dial. Most collectors won't touch this one but I'd buy one if the price was right and source out a clean used tritium dial and insert. I prefer the tritium era of Rolex over modern. A bit of intersting trivia. The Kemit 16610LV was introduced in 2003 and production models never had drilled through lug holes however a pre launch Rolex ad showed a pre production with drilled through lugs and created a bit of confusion for collectors. Rolex dropped drilled lugs in 2003 so no genuine Kermit was ever produced with drilled through lugs.
Its no wonder they are the best!
Wow, how much does a service like this cost?
$850.00 in the USA
That’s 16610LV. Not from 1986.
The reference for this watch is 16800, the owner swapped the bezel insert for the green one that's why it might look like a 16610LV.
you can see it's not a Kermit because it doesn't have the Maxi dial. Its just the green insert
