Good Morning the Forum
Help please. Do Rolex make or sell Submariner watches with white faces.
I have never seen one yet but an acquaintance has shown me his new Rolex
It is a submariner with a white face. It has the circular holograph green sticker on the back
but it is difficult to decipher what if anything the holograph writing is
I'd love to see a picture of this. Is it like this fake one...

Not Rolex themselves. There are some companies that modify Subs etc so could be that, or a truly terrible fake!
Yikes!
That's not a good look!
This watch is not of Rolex manufacture, in whole or significant part.Quote:

& Rolex have never sold a white face Submariner.
It could have been an Explorer II, but unless really old stock having a hologram on the back would scream fake.
WOW!! I like that!!!Quote:

We know Rolex made some odd, white dial versions of other models.
I don’t believe Eric has ever been sued by an aggrieved millionaire who believes he has been sold one or more bad watches. While I would share mixed thoughts about Hodinkee, I don’t think I would question Eric’s status.

Well, I’m sure their are some anomalies and obscure pieces in a lot of brand’s histories - but most of those pieces were not commercially available.
All the same it’s nice to see the odd rarity.
I’m fairly confident that that isn’t the white dial Submariner that the OP is referring to though.
I'm certain it's not!Quote:
