There is no more handsome watch in the world than a gold Sub. Truly majestic and obviously prestigious. The 16808 Submariner is a true transitional model, introducting both the sapphire crystal and quickset date to the Submariner. As for the nipple dial, these are getting very hard to find on 16808s. Take a look, and you will find the later dials with the regular luminous.
