Oh my friend!!! I have to stop visiting Purist Pro!!!
I have to get kind of a sabbatical year from your AMAZING, GORGEOUS watches you keep coming time after time!!!
Also like some other members here who own such amazing pieces....
Until y save some funds for just one (only one, I promise!).
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going sub-crazy and end up selling ALL my watches just in order to get one like this 
He he, Rolex coo-coo salutes you!

1680 Red: The Full Monty.
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
Interesting post ....
Nicolas, i didn't know you had this one .... ... if you're interested i can give you a 100% profit on the red sub !!! Please ? Please ? Bim
Used to be you couldn't give away a Rolex...
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
Nicolas, what a beauty conditioned vintage Rolex............
I bet that it can tell a few tales And to have the complete set which includes the sale price at that time. Must be pure heaven. Regards Tony
Well, I would say that the watch is the cake
And that the package is the cherry on it. Best, my friend. Nicolas

And I thought it was only reserved to the Daytonas!
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

The Full Monty. There is no need for me to add any more comments. Just that it's a Full pleasure for the eyes. Thanks for sharing my friend. Ed
Agree!!
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.
