After a long hunt, is a very fresh to market Rolex Submariner ref. 6200. It is one of the earliest model Submariners, having the desirable 8mm “Big Crown”, and the even more desirable “Explorer 3-6-9” dial. Intrinsically a very desirable watch, what further enhances its desirability to me, is its storied history. The men of the 3918th Field Maintenance Squadron presented this Submariner to Major James Griggs in 1956.

Major Griggs was a well decorated war hero, and a member of the US Air Force who had a distinguished career flying B-47s and B-52s during World War II, and played pivotal roles in both the Cuban missile crisis and the Korean War. The first pictures I had seen of the watch made my heart skip a beat and my pulse quicken. It had to be mine. I had been “hunting” this watch since 2008 when I first knew of its existence. After a nearly 5 year wait, I was so thrilled to be finally able to acquire this beautiful relic and testament to the rich history and heritage of Rolex as a tool watch. Not perfect by any means, but with a glowingly original and rich patina, this is the type of watch that haunts my dreams.
