What Rolex is this ?

Can anyone confirm what reference this gentleman is wearing in this video, I couldn't take my eyes off it whilst watching it.

At 4:34 it looks like a Sub or SD, but then at 4:52 it looks like it has a sub dial of some sort?

Not a SD since it has a cyclops. Looks like a sub based on the bezel but idk what that is at 9 o’clock.

Yes I know I’m wearing it right now but that is not even close to a current version 43mm on his wrist.

The thing at 9 might be a symbol. Like those special edition Quatar Tudor watches.

Also, the thing at 9 seems to match the golden pin he is wearing?

Maybe he added a custom logo/symbol to the dial?

It looks like a special, made for the Italian Police Divers Corp with “Polipetto” dial.

I'm assuming these do not come up for sale...ever, but is there any pricing data on these? One would assume more than the Sommatazzori?

Great! Today is on the win side of learning something new.... it’s still early, I may be able to put another on the card and take tomorrow off.

Fantastic find. Well done.



But then again.... I little concerned that you were you withholding this “important” information!?
