Fat Lady Rolex

The Rolex "Fat Lady," the nickname for the Submariner 16800 and 16803 models with thicker cases and beefier crown guards, is a serious favorite among vintage collectors, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. It was a game-changer in the '80s, introducing sapphire crystals and quickset date features. These pieces, with their bold profile and undeniable charm, capture that perfect balance of rugged and refined—exactly why we love dealing with them here at Tropical Watch.
