Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today, we have a "Red Submariner" with an exceptional vintage feel!

ROLEX Red Submariner MK4 All Tritium

Ref.1680 Serial.25 (Manufactured around 1970)

Cal.1570 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF58 Clasp 71.2 Caseback 70.1

Accessories: Watch body only

SOLD OUT!!

First generation Submariner Date / Ref.1680.

This is an early model with the SUBMARINER logo in red, manufactured from around 1969 to 1975,

commonly known as the "Red Sub".

It is a classic model that boasts overwhelming popularity among vintage models,

and the one we are introducing today allows you to enjoy the aging unique to vintage models.

It is a recommended piece, so if you are looking for one, please check it out!

The dial is the period-correct MARK4.

The horizontal bars of 'f' and 't' in the water resistance notation 660ft are not on the same line,

and it is a dial characterized by its open 6.

The MK4 dial is a relatively common dial among Red Subs, but

Red Subs themselves seem to be less frequently available recently.

Now!

The piece we are introducing this time has tritium luminous material that has aged beautifully,

a patina dial.

What do you think? This exquisite browning!

It's so cool.

It is especially recommended for those who are looking for a rugged vintage model!

The dial condition is excellent, maintaining a beautiful state even under magnification. The condition of the luminous material on the indices is also good.

A Red Submariner with such a superb dial condition is undoubtedly rare!

It seems that there are few pieces with a patinated dial that maintain such a beautiful condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.

The hands have natural aging,

and the luminous material on the hands, which has not been retouched, is also in excellent condition.

The bezel is equipped with a fat font MK3 insert that has an exquisite fade.

Indeed, this bezel perfectly suits pieces from the early 70s!

It's cool!

The luminous dot is missing, but this is also part of the vintage charm!

Personally, I feel a fondness for the fact that it has survived this long.

The condition shows age-appropriate signs of wear,

but it is in good condition for a vintage model!

Overhaul has also been completed by our affiliated workshop.

As you can see, the middle case also has a solid and good impression.

The lug arms are also thick and perfectly proportioned!

The sharp case sides are also rugged and cool.

This Red Sub from this era surprisingly comes with a rivet bracelet.

Although it's FF58, it doesn't feel like it's been replaced.

The buckle clasp is engraved 71.2.

The age matches perfectly!

There is some very natural stretch, but the condition is good!

Wrist shot!!

This "Red Submariner" is incredibly cool with its exquisitely aged dial, luminous material, bezel, and rivet bracelet, giving it an exceptional vintage feel!

Vintage highly popular model!! Red Submariner "Ref.1680/MK4" from '70s

This is a masterpiece where you can feel the unique charm of a vintage model!!

A Red Submariner with such good overall condition and an untouched feel is rare!

This is an attractive piece with a rivet bracelet that is rarely available,

so if you are interested, please check it out!

Customers looking for a rugged and masculine patina Red Submariner,

please consider it.
