Cal.1570 Hard bracelet 93150/FF580 Clasp code VB

SOLD OUT!!

The first Submariner Date/Ref.1680.
This is a white Submariner with the "SUBMARINER" inscription changed from red to white.
The Ref. 1680 was produced from 1969 to 1980.
The White Sub was a short-lived model with a production period of only a few years.

Although it was only produced for a few years, this white sub has a wide variety of dial variations.
The dial that has arrived this time is type 2, where the Submariner notation is larger than the waterproof notation.

This is a comparison photo with the 1- inch dial (left) .
Which dial do you prefer?

Now, this one!
The bezel insert is also original to the MK3!!
Just adding this bezel makes the watch look amazing!
The insert is also in good condition.
It is probably quite rare to find an MK3 bezel in such good condition.

The dial has very slight deterioration due to aging,
Overall, it is in good condition.
There is some rust on the needle, but that's part of the vintage charm!!
It's original and cool.

The condition of the index luminous material is in excellent condition!!

The calendar disc is also original and silver.

The condition of the case and bracelet is appropriate for the age, but there are some scratches.
This is a recommended item in good overall condition.

The lugs on the middle case in particular are thick and have sharp edges.

What do you think?
The impressive lug feet make this a very attractive and impressive piece.

The clasp cord is "VB" and the hard bracelet that matches the era is also in good condition!!

Wrist shot!!
A rugged Submariner. So cool!!
Enjoy the evenly baked borderless dial!!

A vintage Submariner Date with a great atmosphere "Ref.1680"
The parts are consistent,
It's a highly recommended product that is well-cooked and has excellent individual pieces!
A well-maintained vintage Submariner like this is fascinating!
If you are looking for a rimless Submariner, please consider this one.
