Today, Christian dives into the Rolex "Serti" Submariner, one of the single most underrated of the entire Submariner family! Quirky and uncommon Rolex models, if not popular at the time of their initial release, become some of the most desirable on the market. The reference 16613 Submariner is a two-tone Sub with a blue bezel and sapphires at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock markers and diamonds for the others. It's called the "Serti," after the French word meaning "to set" as in gems in a jewelry setting.
For a very long time, Rolex existed in two worlds: the first, incredibly durable steel sport watches like the Submariner and the Explorer, and the second, impressively luxurious dress watches like the Day-Date and Datejust. With the introduction of their first yellow gold Submariner, however, everything changed, and soon the sense of luxury crept beyond the precious metal models into two tone and, eventually, even into the standard steel with white gold surrounds for the lumed hour markers.
The "Serti," then, exists in a bit of a strange spot, as it is very much the luxury end of the Submariner world, but still somehow manages to retain a nature that is undervalued, likely because there are simply a ton of them out there. Nobody has decided to create a sense of artificial rarity surrounding these models yet. There's no evil plot to drive prices up. At between $9-10k, they somehow find themselves on the low end of the Submariner market these days, and as long as the geeks continue to treat the model with some respect and reverence, odds are it will stay that way. - Jak na to + styl

Let me guess, you have one or more in stock/for sale?
watchhunter it’s a business after all, Christian would be the first to admit it, but it’s too much for me...I can’t watch anymore
@@BradGreenstein especially when they're all stupidly overpriced. Sorry you live in SF shithole, but I'm not helping pay your rent.
He lives and operates in NJ not SF...
If you don't like the prices then don't pay. Can you get a cheaper watch off of Ebay? Yes, but it won't come serviced and under a warranty. This channel is built and made to support their shop and it is very transparent-something that I think is a good thing.
Garrett Janssen I agree 100% although I’m not sure it’s transparent to all....most I believe feel this is a completely objective and unbiased review of a Submariner reference...not a long sales job. I’m not sure this a sustainable practice if he grows his business
@@BradGreenstein I bet it's precisely this format that has grown the business. I actually prefer it in a way because I never have to wonder if he's getting paid on the quiet to say something nice.
Straight up review based channels are not much better. Often they have Amazon shops which brings them revenue. They're just usually nowhere near as polished as T&H.
I prefer the older bluesy with the plain blue dial but this is a nice piece and a decent value in today's Rolex market.
Kevin! I definitely get that, the old bluesy is a total classic!!
Great watch and video. I for one like it when you feature watches you have for sale on T&H! Keep doing what you do, time will tell.
I love the Serti, it says class, elegance, sporty all wrapped up in one!!!!
Great video man, always learn a lot from your videos!
Amazing how one year has passed and now this watch has increased in value.
This watch has been on my radar and I wish I could pull the trigger but unfortunately not now, Beautiful Watch!
Great video!! I honestly, love how this looks on you! For Real!! I know you are not into the mega sports watch, but shit man - it really kicks ass AND with a strap option!!! Holy Jeebus!!! Bloody exciting to wear something like this because of the versatility. I wouldn't call it the ONE watch at all, but certainly one hell of a solid vacation watch or weekender. IF you had to have one watch, this would not be a bad one to be able to match in most situations. Blue oxford and white selvedge denim with some brown sperry's.... yup!
Perfect watch for Archie when he realizes a true pontiff needs more Rolexes.
I bought a serti last year for 6000€ with 3 years of warrenty👍🏻 i‘m very happy!💯
It’s been 3 years and now it’s price almost doubled.
Thanks.
This is amazing! I can see a trend emerging since John Mayer's last hodinkee show.
The precious stone Rolexes have been around but lately, they are really picking up some publicity. However, this is the nicest I have seen so far.
Great way to show how tacky you are!
I agree, this Rolex is beautiful. If I had the appropriate amount of disposable cash, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing info regarding this beautiful timepiece.
Thanks for tuning in, Ed!!!
The blue dial version of this is going to be my first Rolex and the fact this video was posted on my birthday really solidified that for me🙏
What a fascinating example... it's blingy as hell when seen up close, but it doesn't demand the attention of anyone within a 50ft radius like the gummy bear does. This is definitely way more coin than I'd wear on my wrist, and I normally prefer cool modern style over bling... but damn that's pretty.
Wow...the new Grail piece. Beautiful in every way.
Interesting video. Thanks very much!
Nice video👏👏 I own a Rolex sub 16613 serti dial. I ❤️ My watch👌
Looks classy on your straps . Just enough bling to enjoy and get attention without being gaudy .
This is too gaudy for me but glad you featured it though.
The definition of a Marmite watch... I happen to love it.
Bought one recently keeps perfect time lot of positive comments love the watch.
Don’t walk - run! So excited to see some vintage T&H rhetoric coming back!
Wow I so want one!!!
My wife took my blue dial submariner and traded it in for my Champagne Serti dial Submariner. I love it. Not a watch I see everywhere I go, like the blue dial submariner. I love to wear it for dress or daily wear.
Wow great job on that Rolex watch it’s incredible looking I would love to purchase one when I do have the money I would personally purchase one myself.
Was this watch made with the a Green face and bezel originally?
Which dial is more desireable, the silver or gold version?
I love the Certi Sub!
The Serti might just be the best kept secrete in the Rolex world. I think any 16613 will command higher prices as time goes on. Beautiful watch.
Got this watch for my 30th. Thanks for helping me find my grail watch
Anyone else annoyed by the bezel not at the 0 mark 🤣
Does this have solid or hollowed links?
How much should I expect to pay for a 30 all yellow gold 2006 circa?
I'm about to buy one for $13000 aud ,mint condition untouched
😎👌
MY ABSOLUTE FAV IS THE NIPPLE DIAL SUBS!!!!
What is the average price for one of these in todays market? A 2004 to be a little more specific
Got my hands on a genuine serti dial and changed up my old bluesy to a serti. Looks much better
Was wondering if any of you regularly goes to Europe? Would make buying a lot easier and cheaper.
Hi Christian! ): Say! Why not collect and wear all the famous Bill Blass attire that they made all the ghastly things to go with too?
Agreed
One of your best videos! I’ve been watching for several years and enjoyed the Serti Submariner Video.
I have to say I truly love mine and it’s my every day watch for the most part. It has started more conversations then any other watch in my collection.
Just bought a silver faced serti... wait for it! ...Rootbeer GMT Master II. I love the sophistication of a glitzy sport watch. Plus I’m an airline pilot, so the Sub just wouldn’t make sense for me.
It looks T&H has one in stock🙂
Love it
great most underrated rolex submariner watch !!!!
Terrific condition?
GREAT ROLEX'S MOST UNDERRATED SUBMARINER WATCH WITH BLUE FACE !!!!
Next on sea dwellers 😅
I prefer my “bluesy”
Did you really say bluesy?.....
Bling Bling
yEah Have seen today. In POland They wnat now 16.500 Doll. Not sure if smart to buy anymore...
Christian, please more liquor run with Rolie!! Love seeing you with you pops
Looks like a Hong Kong Special.
sorry what is the name again？16613（？） Is this call 16613sg？
Classically minging. We’d still have one though
You have an all yellow gold one certi 2006 circa? If I find one what should I pay for that do you think
Definitely a polarising design, and I can't say I'm a fan. The bling mixed with toolwatch case design just doesn't work for me
I love the rainbow Daytona, all good , but I do not like two tone, so the Sub certi is a no-go for me.
silver serti dial is OK but the gold serti is ugly
Blue S&G Subs are old man's watches.
Just have no interest in watches festooned with precious stones. They just look like they are trying to hard and their owners look the same. I'm not against jewelry and precious stones just not on my watches.
lol
Overrated
Overhyped
Like Apple
it isnt going anywhere because it has that distasteful early noughties silver look. just makes you think of rainy days and people sitting in traffic.. same goes for that ugly ugly royal blue - very 90s and very excessive.
Some. People like the 90s time does better like now with terrorism coronavirus and keeping up with the Joneses Instagram in relationships breaking up because you like someone’s picture kids of the 2000s are all messed up
