WHY THIS WATCH
The Sub ref. 1680 was introduced 16 years after the very first Submariner in 1953 and was the first submariner to feature a cyclops date. Early Models of the Rolex Submariner 1680 had the word “SUBMARINER” in Red Writing which was phased out in 1973. As a result the models with the red are now sought out and prized by vintage Rolex collectors.
