Need expext advices for a Red Sub
Hi everybody,
I need please your expert advices. What do you think about this one:
The ref. of the bracelet is 78360 with End Links 501 (so not original, I don't know the date of production of this one).
The seller told me that the serial is 2,2 millions (1969) and the dial and the hands are original. The crown is a triplock (so I think the watch have been serviced because this should be a twinlock for this date of production, no?)
What do you think about the value of this watch? The fact that the bracelet is not the original one is really a negative point?
Thanks a lot

Hi Aston
the dial would concern me more than the bracelet. You should ask for a larger scan, as fake dials are getting better every day. Here's some homework... The Submariner in general: rolex.watchprosite.com The Red 1680 in details: rolex.watchprosite.com
Thank you...
Hi DrStrong, I still do my homework and knew theses links, thank you. I just want to have your advice about the watch, and which value you will give it to it. Thank you
1680
Hi Aston, Please find below a picture of my 2.2 mil 1680 for comparison. In a certain lighting, the dial turns a brownish color. Just like the one on your pictures....
Notice difference in Date size in...
Cyclops window between your 1680 and the one posted by Ryan!
If that were the case,
then would not the whole date window appear smaller in the cyclops? Also, the light source reflected near the top of the cyclops would not be there if the cyclops had been flatten.
Date type-face
The date size appears correct, the magnification seems consistent.....It's the type-face that seems odd, the thickness of the numerals looks thin( thinner than my 1680) maybe the date-wheels vary? Rgrds....
