Pre-owned Rolex Submariner ref. 1680 (1974) is in overall attractive vintage condition. Inner case back is stamped "1680.” Serial and reference numbers are legible. The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The bezel insert is in great condition with some normal wear and scratches; it has remained black. The dial is in attractive condition and has developed some patina. The lume has aged to a lovely yellow color. The edge of the dial has some wear with a couple small chips near 5 and 11 o’clock. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands has been color corrected/ relumed and match the color of the lume on the dial nicely. It has a 93150 bracelet with 12 links, 580 endlinks and a divers extension link. The clasp is marked "I2" indicating it is from 1984. The bracelet is in good condition with some of stretch between the links.
Rolex introduced the reference 1680 around 1969 and it was in production until roughly 1979. This was the first Submariner to feature the date function and Rolex still offers date and no-date models to this day. This example has the word "Submariner" written in red text and collectors refer to these as the "Red Submariner." Rolex did this until around 1975 and then they switched to all white text. Collectors tend to gravitate towards these Red Subs and we have seen demand increase significantly in the last couple years.
This example features a Mark VI dial. The Mark VI dial is distinguished by the feet first depth rating with closed 6's; the red "Submariner" text is also applied directly to the dial for this version and the coronet on the dial is specific to this variation.
Simply the best.
