The dial reads:

• Rolex

• Oyster Perpetual Date

• Submariner

• 1000ft = 300m

• Date at 3 o’clock with Cyclops

• Mercedes hands

• Ceramic-style bezel

• Maxi dial markers

That layout matches a Rolex Submariner Date, likely modeled after reference 116610LN (40mm) or the newer 126610LN (41mm).

Important Detail

The bracelet and bezel are heavily engraved with:

• Skull motifs

• Ornamental scrollwork

• Custom blackened engraving

Rolex does not produce factory skull-engraved Submariners.

This means one of the following:

1. Aftermarket customization (most likely)

   • A genuine Rolex that has been custom-engraved

   • This voids Rolex warranty

   • Significantly affects collector value

2. Custom build using an aftermarket case/bracelet

   • Could be a modified watch built around Rolex-style components

3. Replica / homage watch

   • Some replicas are sold with decorative engraving

Value Considerations

If genuine Rolex 116610/126610 before engraving:

• ~$9,000–$14,000 USD (unmodified market)

With heavy aftermarket engraving:

• Often worth less to collectors

• Value becomes subjective

• Could sell $6,000–$10,000 depending on authenticity

If replica:

• Value is minimal ($200–$500 typically)

How to Determine Authenticity

Check:

• Serial number between lugs (older models) or rehaut engraving (inner bezel)

• Movement (must be Rolex caliber 3135 or 3235 depending on reference)

• Laser-etched crown at 6 o’clock on crystal

• Weight (should feel very solid, ~155g+)
