Description
Vintage Submariners are beautiful watches. The acrylic crystal on the reference 1680 casts a warm hue on the dial. Such is the case with this 1680, which is enhanced with the red 'Submariner' text. This all original Red Submariner is a great looking watch - maybe the nicest looking of all vintage Subs.

Original case is stainless steel and in great condition with fat lugs. Dimensions are 40mm diameter by 15mm thick. High sitting acrylic crystal with cyclops. Original bezel with sharp serrations turning smoothly. Original bezel insert with light wear. Original screw down crown operates perfectly. Serial number 3762XXX dates the watch to 1973.

Original untouched dial has very light, uniform patina on the hour markers and original hands. Date at 3 o’clock with silver date wheel.

Original movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1570 with 26 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 5 positions. This movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. As I have said many times before, in my opinion the Rolex 15XX calibers are the best-ever serial production automatic calibers from any manufacture.

Rolex heavy link model 93150 Oyster bracelet is in excellent condition.
