About This Timepiece
Vintage Rolex White Submariner 1680 Stainless Steel
This Submariner is in great, attractive vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The inside caseback is stamped "1680". Serial and reference numbers are visible. The bezel insert insert is a later service replacement and in great condition with light wear. The dial is in overall good condition with light patina and some light marks that can be hard to notice. The lume on the dial has developed light patina and has aged to a creamy white color. The hands have developed patina and have been color corrected / relumed and are a bit whiter in color than the lume on the dial and will still glow. The 93150 Oyster bracelet has 13 links, 580 end links and divers extension. The clasp is marked "AB7" indicating it is from 2000. The bracelet shows normal signs of wear / scratches and has stretch between the links. 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 a waterproof 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 offer a great value and are perfect for those looking to get into vintage Rolex.Authenticity
