vintage gold. they are a deadly gorgeous combination. congrats on yr acquistion. i have been dreaming of these vintage gold sport watches for a while. congrats.

well done Jeff.

that is a great piece you have found !!  Congratulations.

I ve caught  myself sometimes staring at the gold 1680's ...   maybe one day when I m a bit older.

I should ban you from the forum for that line !

LOL

I hope to catch you this summer: any trip to the French Riviera in the agenda ?

with older I mean 60+ ...

I m always fighting to stay young so SS sports watch is the way to go for me (or at least to try... lol ). 

No France this year (except Chamonix)... too much travelling so we re taking holiday close to home (just hope the weather stays good).

We ll meet in september I hope.


and btw...  congrats again on a really fantastic watch... !

its a fantastic piece...the gold is warmer, and there are more then enuf differentiation versus the SS model in design details.

congrats mate...thks fr the post. lotsa drooling!!

 

The warmth and character of vintage gold is magnetic.

Welcome to the cool size.

...congrats... i have not seen this beautiful 18k Sub before. i thought all Sub are in SS. however after seeing this very nice Sub in 18k, it gives me a total different feel about Rolex Sub which changed my mindset about Sub.

by the way, dark dial with gold markers are perfectly matched and the doom shaped hour markers are wonderful to me too.

well done, very beautiful indeed.

Flip flops, nice smokes, and a solid gold Rolex!  You have the life, my friend!  Congrats on your new beauty.  I must confess I prefer the non-nipple (Hehehe...I said "nipple!") dials, but your vintage Sub is gorgeous!  Enjoy your special new find!

Cheers,
Daos

i love the full gold with brown bezel!!!

This is one of the nicer cleaner ones I have seen. I am a big fan of the 1680/8. I was blessed with my first one being a meters first. Regrettably I sold it and missed it. I then bought a blue dial one for my wife and all I could think of is taking it for myself. And so I was fortunate enough to find another meters first recently and jumped at the opportunity. Enjoy it, it looks terrific.

Best, David

The warmth of the watch is what keeps my eye coming back to the pictures. I'm completely sympathetic to the transitional gold color between yellow and rose; it's hard to see from the pictures but black is a cold color and yet this watch taken together with the black dial is warm overall. Very nice - I hope to see one in the metal soon!
