Rolex Submariner Ceramic Dial Variations

Many of Rolex’s models are manufactured for years and years under the same reference, with no real visible change. This is mostly true to Rolex’s modern watches, as many of Rolex’s vintage watches have received notable updates during the course of its production without changing the reference number.

That is a lot of changes to a watch that kept the same reference number…

 How Much Gold is in a Rolex?
