Today's featured watch is a rugged and cool Red Submariner! It's a highly recommended piece!
Rolex Red Submariner MK5
Ref.1680 Serial.32 (manufactured around 1973)
Cal.1570 FF380/9315 Case back 72.4
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!
The first Submariner Date/Ref.1680.
This is an early model with the red SUBMARINER logo, manufactured from 1969 to around 1975,
commonly known as the "Red Sub."
It's a classic model that boasts immense popularity among vintage watches,
and the one we're introducing today is a highly recommended piece with an overall well-maintained appearance!
If you're looking for one, please check it out!
The dial is an MK5.
It features a dial where the horizontal bar of the 'f' and 't' in the 660ft waterproof rating are aligned
and an open 6.
The Red Sub has a wide variety of dial variations, but broadly speaking,
MK1 to MK3 are meters-first (200m=660ft display),
and MK4 to MK6 are feet-first (660ft=200m display).
The dial condition is excellent,
maintaining a beautiful state even under a loupe!
The tritium lume on the indexes is also in excellent condition overall.
It's a dial with a superb aged patina!
The condition of the hand lume is also good!
There is very natural aging and deterioration,
but no noticeable cracks or other issues, making it in good condition.
Another attractive point of this piece is the fat font MK3 bezel.
An insert in such good condition is a huge plus.
It's a cool insert with a slightly faded appearance.
*The luminous dot is aftermarket.
The case and bracelet show signs of use,
but it's a great example that maintains a very attractive condition!
As you can see, the mid-case is thick and substantial!
It's a superb case that doesn't feel overly polished!
I personally can't get enough of this rugged and sharp case side.
The Red Sub's domed acrylic crystal is also appealing!
The bracelet is an essential folded link bracelet for Red Subs of this era.
No clasp code on the buckle.
The age-appropriate folded link bracelet has some natural stretch,
but it fits perfectly on the wrist!
Wrist shot!
This is an excellent piece with a beautiful dial and a rugged case!
We highly recommend you come and see it in person!
