Rolex 1680 Red submariner mk5
We had some great weather so straight out to the water for me.
The Rolex 1680 red sub mk5 was produced for a short period as Rolex went back to the mk4 after the mk5 because they did not like the red text on submariner directly applied to the dial vs the typical red over white.
Least common of the feet first red submariner.

I have a vivid picture of your Rolex 1680 red sub
It looks almost NOS. I don\'t how the owner managed to preserve it unless he never wore the beauty. I always keep a picture of yours in my mind. The other answer could be that Rolex did a service during its history and the owner preserved it that way. In ...
Thank you for your kind comments Bill! So glad you like this...
