1987 Rolex Watches

- Transitional Sub 168000 — Only ’87 saw 904L steel before 16610 debuted.

- Patina Potential — Cream Explorer II dials and spider-gloss Sub dials highly collectible.
- Neo-Vintage Specs — Sapphire crystals plus tritium lume for warm aging.
- Market Growth — 168000 index up 7 % YoY; Explorer II cream up 9 %.
