1972 Rolex Red Submariner Reference 1680, Complete With Box, Papers, & More
Why This Watch Matters
The "Red Sub" is one of the most coveted vintage Rolex models, in the world. The one we found for you is in original and untouched condition, and is complete with box and papers (plus original accessories!).
The Full Story
There are watches sold with box and papers; and there are watches sold with box, papers, cleaning cloths, accessories, and more. This Red Sub is the latter. The watch you see here comes with everything, even the cool anchor and numerous hang tags originally sold with this rare reference. Here, you can find all the characteristics of a Mark V dial, starting with a serial number that falls in the correct range for this type of dial. Additionally, the dial features the Rolex crown with the correct elongated base and the almost-closed number 6 in the depth rating, the core characteristics of an original Mark V dial. Another thing to note is the incredible condition of the case. It appears to have never been touched with extremely fat lugs and sharp edges. This Red Sub is the real deal for a true top-tier collector. There might be cheaper Red Subs out there, but there are no better Red Subs out there.

What we Love and What You Should Know
One can only describe this Red Sub as being in exceptional, honest condition. The case of this watch is incredibly crisp with fat and unpolished lugs. The watch has some light scuffs overall from some light wear, but nothing of concern. The dial has rich, warm patina and the indexes and hands match in color. This watch is an excellent example of what a great vintage Red Sub should look like.
