$14,092.16 Rolex Submariner 1680 Circa 1978 167496 Vintage Mens No Box or Papers Stainless Steel Acrylic 40mm Aluminum Timing 5257XXX 1575 Automatic Bidirectional Date Stainless Steel Oyster Flip lock

This 1680 is in vintage condition with visible wear consistent with age. The case is in great condition with normal signs of wear. The inside caseback is stamped "1680". The bezel ring has remained sharp, and the bezel insert has faded to a lovely grey color throughout. The bezel has some scratches and wear and the pip at 12 is a later replacement. The dial is in excellent condition with light patina and the lume in the hands and on the dial have aged to a similar, striking yellow custard color. The seconds hand has developed some patina. The 93150 Oyster bracelet has 10 links and 580 end links. It's stamped VC indicating it is from 1978. The bracelet is in good condition with wear and scratches; it has some stretch between the links which is not uncommon. 

Rolex Submariner 1680 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 have gained popularity and good ones are becoming harder and harder to find.  This example is in overall great condition and has a great vintage look to it. From the perfectly aged, now grey, bezel to the striking custard colored lume - this 1680 really sings in the light!
