More about Vintage Submariner 6536 'James Bond' INCREDIBLE

This is a vintage c. 1956 stainless steel Rolex Submariner 6536/1. It has an integral stainless steel link stretch rivet Oyster bracelet with 64 end links, and a double deployment clasp, dated 2/57. It has the original Brevet screw down winding crown, and it has a screw down solid case back, inside of which is stamped: "MONTRES ROLEX SA-GENEVA-SWITZERLAND-PATENTED-STAINLESS STEEL-6536/1," and a serial number. The 38.5mm diameter solid three-body case, curved lugs, and original flat knurled-edge bezel, are polished/brushed. The black bi-directional revolving bezel has graduated /Arabic numeral decompression times, with a luminous dot/triangle at 60 minutes. The black dial is aged with a consistent patina, as are the dot, baton, and triangular hour markers. The luminous radium plots are unusually bold, and the gilt Rolex signature and perimeter minute/second chapter ring are bright and fresh. The original skeletonized Rolex hands with luminous inserts are extremely clean and match the rest of the dial perfectly, as does the center sweep second hand. The dial says 100m=330 feet, and the 12.2mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. This Rolex Submariner 6536/1 has a mechanical automatic Rolex caliber 1030 movement. It's rhodium-plated, and constructed with 25 jewels, a shock absorber device, and a straight-line lever escapement. It includes a monometallic balance that's adjusted to temperatures, isochronism, and 5 positions, and a self-compensating Breguet balance spring. The Rolex Submariner 6536/1 is a very early "James Bond" submariner, originally introduced in 1954.
