Brand: Rolex
Age: Vintage (1971-1983) Gender: Men's

Display: Analog Features: Date, Easy To Read, Water Resistant over 100 m
Model: 1680 Band Material: Stainless Steel

I would like to start out by saying this is one of the most beautiful watches in existence. The 1680 reds are by far my favourite Rolex. This ad is for a 1680 sub - 100% all original Rolex. No replica parts, no after market parts, no franken watch here.

So up for sale is my 1680 red that is a complete set. Yes, you read correctly. This comes with everything it came from the AD  40 years ago, even the original hangtags! This watch is in TZ graded excellent  meaning fantastic for a vintage watch. The original bill of sale even comes with the watch.

The watch has a "true" fat font insert with clear/cracked tritium pearl. The dial and hands are matching in light cream color which are original. 3.7M serial dates to 73 with a Mark VI dial (correct and original to the watch). No chips or non-sense with the dial or hands. Case is in excellent condition with serial still visible and matching the hang tag and papers. Watch comes on a newer 93150 w/ 580 with the slightest play in it (NOS purchased about 1 month ago) and comes with all links as original (extra links in the box and not pictured). Watch has been fully serviced last month (not polished). The watch however has been previously polished over the years. The lugs are strong and integrity is 100% but it is not an unpolished case (full disclosure). Please see pics for further reference. 

This is one of the nicest 1680 red's you will find, period. I am only giving it up to fund a true grail or else I'd keep it as I know I'll never find another set like this.

BONUS: 3 Corvus NATO straps are included free of charge; 'The Real Bond,' and grey + black!

Contact me if you have any questions at 403 399 3831. Please no scammers, I'm not stupid.

Pictures are worth a thousand words so let's let those talk for me! 

No trades. I have tons of reference across all watch forums and can provide them upon request. If the watch doesn't sell, honestly I have no problems keeping it. A set with this dial/hands/bezel and complete box and papers, tags is impossible to find. Don't let the mismatched sets out there fool you. This is all original and not pieced together by buying items off ebay like the rest. 

Payment by bank wire.

Paypal from verified and confirmed members ONLY after talking on the phone.
