I bought my Red Rolex Submariner 1680 new at Casa Venegas, on Main Street on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands for $380 (duty and tax free) in February of 1975. Serial #340xxx, I still have it. Its had a Rolex Jubilee bracelet on it since one of the original bracelet's clasp prongs broke off, the expansion pieces bent, and the flip-lock lost in the early '80s. I've obtained a new Rolex clasp/expansion pieces/flip lock, and I intend to send it to Rolex to have the original bracelet polished, the clasp pieces replaced, and the original bracelet placed back on the watch.
