Rolex Submariner 1680 "Red Submariner"

This watch features a Mark VI matte black dial. The Mark VI dial is the very last dial that came adorned with the highly sought after red writing.  The Mark VI dial can be distinguished by the "Feet before Meters" display, the closed "6's," and the red lettering of the word "Submariner" being printed directly on the dial.  This dial is in excellent condition and its beautiful markers are fully intact. The bi-direction bezel has the original "Fat Font" insert which has naturally faded to a beautiful grey color and is still adorned with the original tritium pearl. With its originality and desirability, this is a true one-of-a-kind collector's piece.

    Superb site and transaction, phenominal delivery time. Some slight confusion concerning the special discount at the time. I didn't receive it. No big deal I would not hesitate to purchase another rolex from Bob's ! ***
