Would have been cool to see periodically correct hands tho :)

Rolex after WW2 offered discount watches to veterans for their service in WW2. When Allied troops were captured and held in German prisoner of war camps they would get their watches stolen by the germans. And they had no way of telling time when planning escapes. Rolex at a risk to itself with the aid of the red cross smuggled Rolex watches into the camps for the troops. My grandfather post WW2 bought a service Rolex and he for the rest of his life swore by Rolex and gave me a 1950s Submariner variation. When I went into service my self he bought me one as a gift. They had a reputation among military personnel and adventurers. Both Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary had military service.

Watch the movement of the second hand. Even 60 years later it still glides instead of ticking, that's how you know a watch is quality.

It is interesting that the dial and hands were replaced in 1998, according to the watch expert. And they still have a really heavy patina. I have a no date submariner from 1994 that is completely original that doesn’t even really have any patina. The patina on this watch is so heavy duty that I find it unusual for a watch dial and hands that are supposedly from 1998.

It's a tritium dial T25 replacement of a radium original dial - they have faded - check your dial marking on your '94 14060/16610 under the 6 o'clock on dial if it says t25:etc it's tritium and should be showing some patina - but some take years to develop (stick it in a dark safe for 5 yrs and it will develop patina) - ps if it says just 'Swiss Made' instead of T25 etc it's had a Luminova service dial fitted and they don't develop any patina !

@michaelfleming8490

Paulthorpe well said. And yes my 1994 ref. 14060 is all original and it has been worn regularly so it has had regular exposure to UV light for 26 years. It doesn’t illuminate at all in the dark anymore. So, it’s on its way. But no real patina developing as of yet. I just found it really surprising that a tritium dial from 1998 would have that kind of heavy patina like the one featured in this video. But I suppose, as you suggest, if it was kept in a safe for all that time I guess it would be possible. It’s interesting how watches develop patina at different paces, some evenly, some un-evenly, etc. I’ve been collecting Rolex for years and I have/had Rolex watches from the 1950s, 1970s, 1990s, and several contemporary models with my Batman being the most recent (which of course won’t develop patina). But it’s interesting how the original radium/tritium dials and hands all develop and age differently from watch to watch.
