This Rolex Oyster Perpetual military issue Submariner (MilSub) is from a batch issued to the British military between 1974 and 1976. The person who was issued the watch received it a few years later and his Army diving log shows that the timepiece was used between 1980 to 1990. The watch was brought to us directly from the gentleman who was an Army diver and the lot includes his diving certificates, Army diver’s log book, photographs taken while on service and even his Royal Engineers Diver jumper. </i>
