Rolex 1680 Red Submariner New Aquisition
Just got my "new" unpolished Rolex 1680 red submariner. It was a long time coming. I've been looking for the right one for the last 5 years. Firstly I wanted a 5513, then I preferred the 5512 but eventually came around to the 1680 model. The search took s...
Congratulations to you.....
......Patience really paid off. Wear it in teh best of health

Thanks. Yeah it was a really long journey.
The temptation was always to go back to the 5513 as a couple came up over the last 2 years. But I'm glad I stuck it out. Now I have it there is both a high and low. The low is I need a new challenge. A good few nights were spent browsing the internet. I t...
Congrats, you picked a beauty!
I'm afraid I've waited too long to get one as the prices seem to go up daily. This one is exceptional!
