Hi all, After a lot of years collecting vintage divers - mainly Blancpains, and even though I wear a 16600 as my regular daily beater, this is the first vintage Rolex for me - and beautiful 1680 Red Submariner! I'm very pleased with it - I've had it for a...  

that's very nice!

The bevels are still neat, and the patina of the indexes is like I love them... And yes, these Vintage Rolex are highly addictive... you'll see. All the best, my friend. Nicolas

Merci Nicolas...

Exactly - the patina is what really caught me with this one - hands and indexes matching in colour. and yes, the edges (and infact the whole case), it is clear its been a) looked after previously, and b) underwent good case maintenance / finishing when in... 

You will have to show it to me, next time!

The fact that you have her strapped on a leather Nato shows you are fully under her spell. Great watch that will bring you great joy. Vintage.... what can I say... timeless. Enjoy the beast. Bill

Congrats !

We both appear to have been badly bitten by the "Vintage Bug" I mean passion! That is a beautiful 1680 red and the patina is fantastic, lovely and warm in appearance. I suspect that you and I may have entered a black hole, from which there is no escape!! ... 

Cheers Tony...

Yes, this leather Nato is one of my favorite purchases this year - so soft and supple, I've started using it on a number of watches I wear - looks equally good on an old Heuer Bund 1550, milspec 1 fifty fathoms.... Hand made to order by a guy in Indonesia... 

very nice Red Sub Tony!

I think this is one of those Rolex that will just get more and more desirable because it has something
