This Submariner is in great vintage condition with wear consistent with age. Stainless steel case; the back of clasp is stamped "1680". Serial and reference numbers are visible. The case is strong with normal signs of wear. The bezel ring has remained sharp and the bezel is in great condition. The bezel insert has faded evenly throughout to a beautiful grey color with hints of blue and lavender depending on lighting; the pip is a later replacement. The matte dial is in great condition with light patina. The lume on the dial has aged to a lovely yellow/beige color. The hands have developed light patina and the lume has developed patina; the seconds hand has aged darker than the others. It has a stainless steel 93150 Oyster bracelet with 11 links, 580 end links and divers extension. The clasp is marked "VC" indicating it was produced in 1978.The bracelet is in good condition with normal signs of wear, it has some stretch between the links.

Pre-owned Rolex Submariner ref 1680 (Circa 1979) is one of the most sought-after vintage watches on the market. It hails from the legendary Submariner collection, complete with an Oyster 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 has aged beautifully over the years from the perfectly aged bezel to the striking lume color; This Sub checks all the boxes.
