Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have the coolest red Submariner!!

Rolex Red Submariner MK4 All Tritium
Reference 1680 Serial 26 (manufactured around 1971)
Cal.1570 Winding bracelet 9315/FF280 Clasp 70.3 Back cover 70.4
Accessories: Main unit only
HOLD!!

The first Submariner Date/Ref. 1680.
This is an early model with a red SUBMARINER logo, commonly known as the "Red Sub," manufactured from 1969 to around 1975.

This is a classic model that is extremely popular among vintage models.
The item we are introducing this time is a recommended item that allows you to enjoy the aging that is unique to vintage items, so if you are looking for one, be sure to check it out!

The dial is a period-appropriate MARK4.
The horizontal bars of the "f" and "t" in the waterproof rating of 660ft are not on the same line.
The dial features an open 6.

The red sub-model has a wide variety of dial variations, but they can be broadly divided into
MK1 to MK3 are meter-first ( 200m = 660ft ),
From MK4 to MK6, the time is feet first ( 660ft = 200m ).

Well, the one we are introducing this time has a beautifully burnt tritium luminous finish.
It's a pumpkin dial.

What do you think? This intense tan!!
That's cool.

This is a comparison photo with Dr. Ito's 1016/Pumpkin Dial.
Still, these two are irresistible.

The Doctor's Tall Crown is also an exceptionally dark burnt specimen,
The red sub we are introducing this time is no less impressive!

Highly recommended for those looking for a rugged vintage look!

The dial has very slight deterioration due to aging, which can be seen with a magnifying glass.
Overall it is in very good condition!

The luminous indexes are deep and have aged beautifully.

The luminous material is all tritium.

The luminous hands are also deeply colored and well balanced with the indexes.
The rusty look of the needles is also really cool.

The bezel is equipped with a fat font MK3 insert.
MK3 inserts in such good condition are definitely rare!

As expected, this fat font bezel is a perfect fit for the early 1970s model!
It's cool!!

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches from use,
It's in good condition for a vintage model!

The middle case is a solid piece with no excessive case thinness!

The bracelet is equipped with a winding bracelet, which is essential for red Submariners of this era .

The buckle clasp is engraved with the 70.3 period.

There is a very natural wrinkle.

Wrist shot!!
A beautiful pumpkin dial and MK3 insert.

This is the coolest red Submariner!
