Die biss jetzt einzigartige Rolex Ref. A6538 U.K. Military Big Crown

[Mr. Subby]

Sehr toller Bericht, Philipp.
Eine fantastische Uhr und endlich habe ich das mit Burford Dials kapiert. Und unglaublich, dass du die eine mit dem Buford Dial auf einem Trödelmarkt gefunden hast.
Unglaubliche Geschichte und toll recherchiert.

Du, mir ist es (vielleicht im Gegensatz zum Peter) völlig egal, ob sich hier jemand für solche Uhren interessiert oder nicht, es muss sich doch niemand rechtfertigen....

Mich freut es sehr, hier Uhren dieser Qualität zu sehen. Ist halt leider zu selten.

Uhren diese Qualität sind unglaublich selten, hier sprechen wir sogar von einer art einzigartigen Uhr.
Also wie oft sollen denn dann solche Uhren zu sehen sein

Freuen wir uns doch einfach wenn jemand so etwas zeigt

Klasse Philipp

Glückwunsch zur superseltenen Sub.

Durfte eine vor einigen Jahren beim Passion Meeting bestaunen.
Hatten damals Maurizio und Marlon De Simone dabei (watches in rome)

I noticed that something really interesting is happening with my Rolex A/6538 Submariner recently. The following what happened I’ve never experienced before and therefor I like to share it with you. Now If you look at below picture, please focus on the left part of the dial….somehow there was a lighter part on the left of the dial, it was not a stain when I looped it but instead it almost seemed that the lacquer was more rough / dry. Not that I really cared as I was already over the moon so happy with the authenticity of it but I spotted it anyways after looking at it regularly. While checking my earlier pictures, I noticed it was there from the beginning when I took off the crystal from the front and brushed away all little dirt parts that where on the dial…



To make it easier visible and comparable, I marketed the rough area below on the picture that I uploaded for my report….



While I was wearing it in my pocket all the time, enjoying it by looking at it several times a day, I noticed that the rough area is getting smaller! Maybe due to the warmth in my pocket, fresh air the dial had or because the dial surface needed to calm down after I gently cleaned it, honestly I don’t know why but the area became smaller. So I started making pictures and went comparing them with the ones I made from beginning… Below you see that the area has become already much smaller, making the depth rate and submarine print pop out again. You can imagine I was happy to see this!



Then yet another week later, again the area as you see below, had become even smaller… so before I left for Parma I hoped when I came back, it would be nicer then we see below…



From a different angle, now only between 6 & 7 o’clock is some roughness visible…



But when I had a look it today, it was completely gone!



Also from different angle you don’t see it anymore….



Next to each other for easy comparison you see what happened in the last weeks after I got it, left was from day 1 when I came back from the U.K. and just after I cleaned the dial and right is from today 😉



Just amazing, I mean the whole watch is a miracle but that this is happened, I never thought was possible!



Cheers

Hey Philipp,


this is nothing special, that's the so called SCAD Submariner (Self-Cleaning-Alien-Dial).

I am happy with you that this great watch is now even in a better condition than you expected. And as I told you already before I am also happy to read this great story here and see all the great pictures.

Thanks for the time you spend on writing this great article in this Forum.


Regards,

Peter

... hopefully it doesn't walk around the Dial and next week it's coming back between 1 and 2 o'clock...

Fascinating story and watch and I really wonder what happened with the dial...maybe different humidity?

What strikes me the most about this amazing watch is the absolutely perfect red triangle on the 12 o'clock position.

Looks like freshly painted to me.

To be honest, I am not a vintage-guy, but this watch............

Ich schreibs mal auf Deutsch, versteht Philipp übrigens genau so gut

Das rote Dreieck ist absolut korrekt, es ist ein ganz frühes.

Wie der Lack aufgetragen wurde weiß ich nicht, aber die frühen sehen aus, wie eloxiert.

Die Farbe ist typisch für dieses alte Inlay und auch die starke Färbung. Es ist nicht nachgefärbt und selbst wenn, wäre es immer noch ein unverwechselbares "red traingle" Insert, denn da existieren ja nun noch mehr Erkennungsmerkmale auf diesen frühen Inlays, ausser die rote Farbe.

Du hast anscheinend heiße Nüsse, Philipp, wenn da was aus der Uhr herausdiffundieren kann, wenn Du sie in der Hose hast.....
