Pre-owned Rolex Submariner ref 1680 ( 1978) is one of the most sought-after vintage watches on the market. It hails from the legendary Submariner collection, complete with an Oyster case, 60-minute diver's bezel, and self-winding movement. The 1680 also holds a special place in Rolex history as the first Submariner to feature a date mechanism on the dial. Rolex initially made the 1680 with a single line of red text on the dial and would later move to all white text like the example we have here. These "White" 1680s have gained popularity and good ones are becoming harder and harder to find. This example has aged beautifully over the years. The bezel has taken on a gorgeous fade that is darker at the bottom and lightens towards the top edge; it also has taken on a bluish-grey color which is just fantastic. In addition to the bezel, the lume has aged to a striking yellow that really pops. Its amazing to think of how this watch looked when it was born and now, that's one reason why we see many people gravitate towards vintage watches.
