For those who are not totally convinced by a good old gold vintage Rolex: Rolex Submariner 1680 in yellow gold.

It is hard not to fall in love with this chromatic combination, blending blue, chocolate and gold. 

Best,

Nicolas

I’m certainly not convinced by the seller.

Maybe if it "looks" too good to be true?

 
By: MikiJ : September 12th, 2021-22:02
It is :-(

IF all good, it is terrific. IF, and only IF, indeed.

If any auction house posted this, I'd be suspicious...

 
By: patrick_y : September 12th, 2021-22:15
But considering it's from Antiquorum... It's practically a guarantee that it's dubious!

Hehehe...

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-06:32

Not from auction house, but otherwise am convinced!

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : September 12th, 2021-22:55

Good one!

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-06:34

Total stand out.

 
By: Stoikos : September 12th, 2021-23:06

The watch, clearly.

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-06:35

Interesting to see this combination.

 
By: Bill : September 12th, 2021-23:32

No one mentioned the nipple markers...

 
By: MikiJ : September 13th, 2021-01:06
Pretty unusual on their own.

On gold models, the GMT MASTER from the same era had them.

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-06:35

Only the 18kt. GMT Masters?

 
By: MikiJ : September 13th, 2021-13:58

Two tone, too.

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-14:02

Here is a full gold Sub:

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-14:08
And some GMT MASTER: ...  

What I thought, too.

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-06:35

I Don’t buy that dial for a second.

 
By: Miles_151 : September 13th, 2021-07:02
Shame a lovely watch is ruined. M.

As I said, IF correct only. ;)

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-07:18

Pardon my naive question, what about the dial is putting you off?

 
By: csbracc : September 16th, 2021-10:59
Cheers

I wonder, because I've seen several with this dial.

 
By: amanico : September 16th, 2021-11:07

That bag…what’s with the seal???

 
By: Esharp : September 13th, 2021-11:31

Impressive, the " bag ", indeed.

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-13:56

Exceptional piece there mon ami. For some reason, I much prefer the warmth and patina of vintage gold (colored metals) models than modern pieces. I guess the duller finish is less flashy, hence more subtle to wear 😉

 
By: holdemchamp1225 : September 13th, 2021-12:10

Yes, I think you are right. Bill tried to convert me into vintage gold Rollies, and I must say that he managed to convince me.

 
By: amanico : September 13th, 2021-13:57

LOL, maybe me too but I already had a few 😉😜🤣

 
By: holdemchamp1225 : September 13th, 2021-13:58

Looks good,

 
By: A.G : September 14th, 2021-05:29
it seems made for Abu Dhabi police, the bag has a crest of Abu Dhabi police, and the paper has a stamp of the Rolex exclusive dealer in Abu Dhabi.

Which is reassuring, indeed. Thanks, AG.

My little contribution, even if not "color change" is a more than nice 1680 specimen

 
By: Peppo : January 18th, 2022-22:45
It's an early 660/200 with a correct "white number" insert and a very rare Pat Pend bracelet. Enjoy ...  

A real beauty in pristine condition.

 
By: Bill : January 18th, 2022-23:13

Wow, Peppo! Good to see you back!

 
By: amanico : January 19th, 2022-03:22

All I have is the 16808.

 
By: jp884 : January 19th, 2022-21:55
Next to its modern counterparts. ...  

I am not a fan of gold watches, but here ( with the GMT MASTER, too ) I would happily make an exception...

 
By: amanico : January 19th, 2022-22:09

Funny, I used to be all about the ss when it comes to Rolex but lately I have been more drawn to the all gold as of late.

 
By: jp884 : January 19th, 2022-22:45
Funny how tastes change over time or wax and wane.

Especially when it comes to these vintage Rolex.

 
By: amanico : January 20th, 2022-07:17

All I can contribute is..

 
By: Wristenthusiast : January 23rd, 2022-20:10
Modern two tone. I like vintage Rolex but if you go too far back the bracelets get a bit too rickety for my taste . ...  

Super shot of a super cool Sub.

 
By: amanico : January 23rd, 2022-22:18

I am neither a believer or lover of tropical anything.

 
By: Miles_151 : January 25th, 2022-22:31
But I’m a lover of vintage Gold submariners. The 1680/8 and 16808 with Nipple dials are fantastic. M.

And rightly so, mon ami. They can make me change my mind on yellow old watches. ;)

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2022-06:26

Now I wonder what a BB58 Bronze would look like with a Bucherer Blue bezel!

 
By: iwolf81 : January 26th, 2022-16:04

HA! THAT is a great idea!!!
