Submariner 41 Ref. 126619LB "Cookie Monster"

The 2020 Submariner 41mm isn’t a revolution but an incremental step toward a refined design. The fundamental watch remains unchanged; this update was about subtle modifications and a new caliber. Amazingly nothing is shared between the outgoing 11661x generation of submariners and the current 12661x models. The watch appears identical from a distance, but a seasoned Rolex fan will quickly spot the differences.

This example is in "fair" condition, indicating that there are very clear signs of wear on the case and bracelet. The bracelet is tight and has no noticeable sag; however, it does have noteworthy scuffs on the buckle, particularly on the polished surfaces, which are visible in the photos. Since this is technically a diver watch, we feel that it is best to leave this example in its honest condition. Due to the relatively new age of this watch, no service was performed by Greenwich Time.

This Submariner is presented as a complete set with a box, papers, and a Rolex warranty card.

Rolex was founded in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis. The company began as a modest endeavor, assembling watches from imported parts. However, Rolex soon grew into an internationally renowned brand through the great business strides that the young Hans made.

The Rolex name is inextricably linked to the ubiquity of the modern wristwatch, from humble beginnings to epitomizing achievement and prestige. The crown has transcended film, literature, fashion, culture, and history, worn by record-breakers, presidents, and fictional characters.
