In lovely condition with both boxes, Oyster booklet and international Rolex warranty card dated April 2008 from the famous American main agent, Tourneau.

SOLD
£6,799 Stock number: 52-09-020Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 16710 with original black “SWISS – T < 25” dial on Oyster 78360 bracelet. The 16710 was available with different bezel options but this one has just been fitted with a “new old stock” version of its signature red / black insert, known as the “Coke” bezel by collectors. Having a case number in the S4xxxxx range, this will be a circa 1994 watch. At that time the plain Oyster bracelet was a standard option and the “S10” clasp code on this one denotes October 1994 manufacture, indicating that it is original to the watch. Showing a few signs of its age, it comes with its original GMT-Master booklet and numbered green swing-tag, Rolex boxes, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The cheapest NEW equivalent is now £7,150 but these earlier models have increasingly attracted a following of their own.

£8,699 Stock number: 50-08-154December 2016 watch, available today with BOTH swing-tags and NO silly nonsense about the warranty card being withheld*! Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 116710BLNR with black dial / blue and black ceramic bezel insert on Oysterlock 78200 bracelet. Nicknamed the “Bruiser” or “Batman” GMT by fans because of its distinctive bezel colours, this watch has spent much of its short life in our pawnbroking safes and remains in superb condition. It comes with Rolex boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, both swing-tags and UK warranty card from David M. Robinson dated December 2016. The NEW RRP of this popular model is £6,850 but this is one of several steel professional models that can now be very hard to obtain new without joining a long waiting list, so we are selling it at a premium. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck! Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.
* While their clients have to wait months or years for certain models in the stainless steel Professional series of watches, some Rolex main agents are now stripping new watches of delivery stickers, keeping the numbered swing-tag and refusing to supply the warranty card until a year or more after sale. This is an attempt to hinder the premium resale or “grey market” in the watches which their very lack of supply causes.
SOLD
£5,699 Stock number: 52-09-019Stainless steel Rolex Submariner non-date model 14060 with black “SWISS”-only dial and bezel insert on Oyster Fliplock 93150 bracelet.

£3,599 Stock number: 50-07-08826mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 69173 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with white Mother of Pearl / diamond dot dial and diamond-set bezel, both of which have been custom-made, NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts to customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one that is already fitted there always seems to be a queue of buyers! This circa-1995 watch is in very nice condition, coming with Rolex boxes, an Oyster booklet and our own warranty card. The nearest new equivalent model, even with a plain dial and fluted bezel, is now £6,700.
SOLD
£11,999 Stock number: 52-22-023Available today! Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 116710BLNR with black dial / blue and black ceramic bezel insert on Oysterlock 78200 bracelet. Nicknamed the “Bruiser” or “Batman” GMT by fans because of its distinctive bezel colours, this watch has spent much of its short life in our pawnbroking safes and remains in superb condition. Some of the delivery stickers are still in place inside the clasp! It comes with Rolex boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. This model was released in 2013 but its exceptional popularity and limited supply mean that it attracts a significant premium over the last new RRP and even that of its replacement, the 126710BLNR (whose Jubilee bracelet does not suit everyone).

Please ask to speak with one of the Tudor specialists in the Miltons watch team: Phil or Paul.
Tudor has for many years been celebrated as Rolex’s “lower-price-point” brand, but with a high-profile advertising campaign employing famous sportsmen and celebrities it now attracts many followers in its own right.

SOLD
£4,499 Stock number: 32-71-026Bicolour Rolex Submariner Date model 16803 with black dial and bezel insert. Its original bracelet presumably having failed some time ago, it is offered now on a generic “NATO”-style black nylon webbing strap. The watch head is sound but the dial and bezel both show signs of age, as might be expected of a mid-1980s watch. We know there are many who will like the pleasantly-mellowed appearance of the matching tritium hands and indices. The 16803 model reference denotes the dependable 3035 calibre movement, whose date is adjusted by turning the winding crown backwards when in the mid-position. Comes with Rolex boxes, a slightly later Oyster booklet and our own warranty card. Would make for an effective and stylish “beater,” a pre-owned watch that one doesn't need to be too precious about wearing.
SOLD
£5,099 Stock number: 82-08-01326mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 179173 with champagne / diamond dot dial on Oyster 72133 bracelet.

SOLD
£15,499 Stock number: 52-33-0152004 / F-case number “Anniversary” Rolex Submariner Date model 16610 LV, with Mark 1 dial and FLAT FOUR* bezel insert! Still in service stickers with box & original papers etc! This stainless steel watch is an F61xxxx case-number example in excellent condition with both boxes (outer stickered “16610”), both “Your Oyster” and “Rolex Submariner” booklets, both swing-tags (the green specifying “16610LV”), original Rolex papers from Dubai dated October 2004, Rolex calendar card 2005/2006, novelty anchor, bezel protector, the Rolex UK service card dated August 2018 and original invoice for £981.35 (both also specifying that it is a 16610LV). The dial may be identified as the Mark 1 most easily by looking at the wide “SWISS MADE” text at 6 o’clock. The bezel insert, glass and crown were all replaced at service and the watch has barely been worn since then — it still bears the service stickers to case sides! Correctly, this version has a plain, un-numbered inner rehaut. The new equivalent has just increased to £7,650 but these older models have been increasingly sought after since they were discontinued some years ago. We first offered the watch in 2018 and it has been in a private hands since then, barely being worn since Rolex service. Please ask one of the Rolex-trained specialists in the Miltons watch team to discuss this watch with you. Further photographs including a macro-lens close-up of the figure “4” may be seen by clicking through the main image.
* The so-called “Flat Four” (or “Fat Four”) bezel inserts are identified by looking closely at the figure “4” in “40” on the bezel insert. If the shape of the green area enclosed by the body of the four has a flat top, as here, then it is a “Flat Four.” If instead it comes to a point, creating a trianglular shape inside the “4,” then it is a “Thin Four” insert. Do not confuse the important, internal shape with the external top-line of the figure “4” itself, as the latter is flat in all versions. The “Flat Four” inserts have become increasingly sought after by collectors, having apparently been produced for only a short time and fitted to the earliest examples of this model, specifically Y to F case number watches circa 2004. If owners lost or damaged one of those original inserts, it would previously as a matter of routine have been replaced with a “Thin Four” insert. What is extraordinary here is that the “Flat Four” insert was supplied and fitted by Rolex UK in 2018, long after it is thought such inserts had all been used up. Close examination shows that this may be a new version of the “Flat Four,” marginally different in the subtlest of ways from the early ones. Is it a newly-released service part? If so, will it be fitted to all 16610LVs, or only those early examples like this for which a “Flat Four” would be correct? Not wishing simply to sell such a desirable piece without disclosure or comment about this unusual part, I started discussions on two specialist watch fora, both of which you can read with single clicks here: 2018 “Flat Four” discussion on tz-uk and here: similar discussion on rolexforums. At the time of writing it still seems no one is certain what to make of it. Is it an old part that we were just lucky to be given? Is it a part that they can release to owners of correct, early LVs that would have had a “Flat Four?” Is it instead a new, standard part that will be fitted to all 16610 LVs from now? What effect will that have on values, for both early ones that should have such an insert and later watches which correctly did not? We cannot know, but invite potential purchasers to follow as much due diligence as we have. Reflecting the uncertainty about Rolex and this hitherto-unseen insert, we are pricing the watch for a little less than if it had one of the circa-2004 originals.

SOLD
£2,799 Stock number: 52-07-005Of interest to collectors! Stainless steel Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust model 17000 from the late 1970s, which appears to have been fitted later with a blue / baton dial from a bicolour version of the model (note the yellow gold fittings and text). Contrary to the widely-held belief of a million wine-bar experts, for over twenty years Rolex DID make a quartz watch whose second hand TICKS rather than sweeps, as one might otherwise rightly expect of their mechanical watches. These Oysterquartz models are quite rare and their chunky looks are not to everyone's taste, but they have a following and this early example is in very nice condition. It comes with Rolex boxes, Oysterquartz booklet, Rolex UK service slip from July 2004 and our own warranty card. We like to warn prospective buyers just how LOUD the ticking sound always is on the Rolex 5035 quartz module. If you enjoy stalking lions, work for the Special Forces or are plagued by fears that a ticking bomb might be under your living room chair, this may not be the model for you. Offered with a one year warranty, since the Oysterquartz range is now discontinued.

£2,999 Stock number: 52-06-02236mm stainless steel and white metal Rolex Datejust model 16264 on Jubilee 62510 bracelet with smart blue / baton dial. The model number 16264 suggests that this watch originally had a “Turn-o-Graph” bezel, but at some point this must have been changed for the fluted bezel of a 16234. This F-series watch from approximately 2003 is in very nice condition and comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and our own warranty card. The NEW equivalent is now £6,150!

SOLD
£4,599 Stock number: 52-08-014Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss model 116400 with black / index baton dial having orange detail and “lightning” seconds hand, on Oyster 72400 bracelet. In superb condition with boxes, Milgauss booklet and UK warranty card from Aurum Group (specifically their Goldsmiths store in Liverpool One) dated April 2010. The original Milgauss was the model 6541 introduced back in 1956; subsequent models remained in production until 1988, albeit for the most part in the form of the next-generation 1019 variant. It was designed as an especially anti-magnetic model for nuclear scientists near Rolex HQ in Switzerland but has since won desirability in its own right. This watch is one of the newer versions launched at Basel in 2007. Many clients love the Milgauss simply for being such a big watch, with its lovely, clear dial options and funky colour accents. This specific model now appears to be discontinued. The last NEW equivalent RRP was £5,650 but in October 2018 Rolex UK raised their prices by around a further 5%! Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.
SOLD
£5,399 Stock number: 50-08-202Milgauss with green glass…but it’s NOT a GV model ! Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss model 116400 on Oyster 72400 bracelet with black / plain index dial, distinctive orange “lightning strike” seconds hand and (most curiously) a green-tinted synthetic sapphire glass. Green sapphire glass is normally found only on the “GV” versions of the Milgauss, which this is specifically not — it is a simple 116400, as the standard index dial and Rolex UK’s records show. We believe that the glass was fitted in error during service work by Rolex UK; they have confirmed that they serviced it, but do not record whether they fitted a plain or green glass in error! As can be seen in the additional images (which can be viewed by clicking on the main picture), we have compared it with a genuine GV and are confident that the green sapphire glass is genuine, showing the same depth, colour and bevelled edge as our control example. The watch is in excellent condition with negligible signs of wear. It comes with Rolex boxes, Milgauss booklet, red swing-tag, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. Its V3xxxxx case number dates it to around 2009. The highly anti-magnetic Milgauss models were re-introduced into the Rolex range over a decade ago but remain very popular. Only a Milgauss GV model is available today, with a NEW RRP of £6,650. Like many of the more unusual Professional Rolex models in stainless steel, they can be hard to find at main agents. Furthermore, the discontinued, plain 116400 with simple index batons like this watch is now sought after in its own right.
