Description
Vintage Submariners are beautiful watches and this particular Red Submariner is insanely nice. The plastic crystal on the reference 1680s casts a warm hue on the dial, and this effect is amplified when the markers and hands present such a nice, even patina. Add to that the faded original bezel insert and fat lugs/full metal case and you get an over the top nice wearable and investable watch.
Original case is stainless steel and in great condition with fat lugs. Dimensions are 40mm diameter by 15mm thick. High sitting original plastic crystal with cyclops. Original bezel. Crown screws down and operates perfectly. Serial number 3685XXX dates the watch to 1972.
Original untouched dial is exquisite. The dark patina on the hour markers, bezel pearl and original hands match to nice effect. Date at 3 o’clock.
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. This movement was serviced in 2008 and is clean and running.
Rolex heavy link Oyster bracelet (reference 93150) with flip-lock clasp.
