Rolex Submariner 1680
The Rolex 1680 is a Sub in one of it’s most iconic forms, and a favourite of ours here at Watch Vault. Featuring a classic matte dial, plexiglass with cyclops, silver date wheel, and in the pre-ceramic case it features all the hallmarks of a classic Sub while still providing some of the best value in the vintage Rolex world in our opinion.
This particular example dates from circa-1978 and presents in very good vintage condition. Case is thick. Lugs are very even, with clear numbers between them. Case shows scratching, scuffs and dings commensurate with its age.
Bezel shows nice fade, with marks and scratching present. The matte tritium markers show a nice, even patina with some mild degradation visible under UV. Hands are a shade lighter than the markers, with some cracking to the tritium present.
Silver date wheel in place with open 6’s and 9’s.
Please see images for full condition details.
Comes equipped on a 93150 bracelet with 9 links and 580 endlinks. Minor stretch for its age. Clasp is a K9 code dating to 1986.
Serviced in December 2019 by one of Australia's leading independent Rolex specialists. Winds smoothly, and keeps COSC time.
Comes with Watch Vault Travel Pod and Watch Vault cleaning cloth. No box or papers.
