 By: amanico : February 15th, 2012-06:52
Here are some pictures of the Full Monty Red Sub. Here, in its box, with its booklet: Now, with its punched papers ( Certificate of Chronometry ), booklet and wallet: Which is interesting, if you pay attention to the date of the sale ( Nov 1975 )... Made ...  

Congratulations!

It is so good to see a complete set like this, no matter the watch, when it is decades old. I imagine it is especially nice for a superb condition red Sub like this one. Yes the price is...well, a bit of a shock. I assume it is worth a bit more now. ;-) B... 

Actually, I own it for 6 or 7 years, now.

But I never had the idea to take a picture of the full set, till Jeff had the idea to post something on that topic... Best, Respo. And thanks! Nicolas

Simply stunning.

My tenant and Rolex/Patek/Piaget afficianado says he remembers back in the Sixties and Seventies you couldn't give away a Rolex, nobody wanted them(?). Anyway, once the yuppies started buying them as a status symbol ("I want that watch that James Bond and... 

That is true!

You will see many examples showing a big difference in time between the production and the sale. 2, 3, 4, 5 years and more are not uncommon! Well, at this time. The madness is recent, let's say 14 or 15 years, not much more. I agree. Best, Niicolas

Well, also for all the professional models, at least in France, at the end of the 90ies, early 2000s. But I didn't know it was still the case, a few years ago. Thanks for your input, my friend. Best, Nicolas

Great to see the full package with a great watch like the 1680 Red. Don't forget to wear it in rotation with all your other magnificent watches!!

I do wear it, not too often, though.

But when I have it on my wrist, it is generally for one whole week. A cool watch, for sure. Thanks. Best, Nicolas
