Red Submariner - joining the vintage sub club....

Hi all, After a lot of years collecting vintage divers - mainly Blancpains, and even though I wear a 16600 as my regular daily beater, this is the first vintage Rolex for me - and beautiful 1680 Red Submariner! I'm very pleased with it - I've had it for a...

We both appear to have been badly bitten by the "Vintage Bug" I mean passion! That is a beautiful 1680 red and the patina is fantastic, lovely and warm in appearance. I suspect that you and I may have entered a black hole, from which there is no escape!! ...
