The Rolex Submariner "Kermit" was first released in 2003 as a 50th anniversary piece to celebrate the model line. It was the first Submariner to feature a green bezel, maxi dial/hands and is now highly coveted for its historical significance. Rolex have produced very few anniversary watch models over the years and the Kermit stands out as our favorite for its unique transitional features.

For those who appreciate the finer details, this particular example has a few things that really stand out from the pack. The watch houses a Mk1 dial which is more sought after, as well as an F Serial case which has no engraved rehaut. (Later examples have etching inside the case which is not as clean and vintage in appearance). It also comes with a Mk3 bezel insert or "B3 Lime" which is highly sought after for its rarity and unique color. This one is darker than most but has a large range of hues from forest green to lime green in hard light. Finally, this piece appears completely unpolished and comes as a full set.

With "Flat 4" Kermits trading much higher currently, we believe this is a more unique find that offers the right balance of collectible features for anyone who has been hunting an amazing Kermit example.
