Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have a popular model with a 4-digit Submariner date!

Rolex Red Submariner MK6
Reference 1680 Serial 37 (manufactured around 1974)
Cal.1570 Winding bracelet 9315/FF380
Accessories: Main unit only
Retail price: 4,180,000 yen (tax included)

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

The dial is MARK6.

Feet first, not meters first
This is the final red sub dial manufactured between 1974 and 1975.

A distinctive feature of Close 6 is that the horizontal bars in the Ft notation are all on the same line.

This is a dial that is surprisingly rare among red sub-dials with feet-first notation.

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.

The scratches on the plastic windshield are visible,
The dial condition is excellent and is in excellent condition even when viewed with a magnifying glass.

Strangely, while many MK6 dials have peeling on the outer periphery,
It's rare to find a Minute-Z line like this in such good condition!

The luminous indexes are also in excellent condition.

The color of the luminous hands matches perfectly with the luminous indexes!
The degree of aging of the hands is also exquisite and looks great!

The bezel insert is a period-matching MK3 insert.
This is a great insert that has faded beautifully to gray!

The clear contrast between the faded gray insert and the deep tritium luminous material makes for an attractive look!

The impression when you hold it in your hand is that it is an outstandingly good item!!

*Luminous points are aftermarket products.

The condition is good with some scratches due to use,
The case and bracelet are in good condition!

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

The perfectly designed lug legs are also very cool.

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

There is some wear, but it is in a relatively clean and crisp condition.
The impression of the bracelet is also very good!

Wrist shot!!
This pumpkin red Submariner has a beautiful face and an attractive look!

The highly popular vintage model, the red Submariner "Ref. 1680/MK6"
This is a highly recommended specimen with well-matched parts and a great face!!
A pumpkin red Submariner with such good dial condition and a rugged, manly look is rare!
The overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop!
If you are looking for a red Submariner with a great atmosphere, please consider this one.
