Rolex Produced some of the rarest prototype Submariner for US Marine in 1982.However due to whatever reason that it never turned into mass production.
It features a rather unique of locking its bi-directional timing bezel, The large detachable lug hoods lift up to allow manipulation of the bezel, lower it down to secure lock.
It has a new look as the traditional Submariner design as it extend the watch it out down from the middle of the case to meet the bracelet. It is 44mm with a lug to measurement of 58mm. The example featured here was sold at auction by Antiquorum in 2004 for USD$ 72,000! I think the current price may be already go double to USD$150,000! if your wrist is small , this may not be too fit for it.HK Snob

This watch is a fake, it was designed and made by Ken Sato of Ken's Trading Co, who later started RXW, he made it for a wealthy client in Japan who wanted something non of his friends had.
The biggest tell is "US MARINE" because there is no such thing, it is only "US MARINES" I also own one of the fake cases. This was openly known as a fake/hoax more than 3 years ago guys! The case backs, crowns and tubes all fit genuine Rolex parts. This story is very old!!!
thanks,
i told the watch owner the watch is fake also.
thanks again
