This iconic 1680 submariner was sourced from the original owner who virtually kept everything since the watch was produced in 1973. The dial is fantastic with perfect patina and nicely matching hands. The case is untouched from professionally polishing and original chamfers remain with super crisp numbers between the lugs. The bracelet is the original 9315 and the owner had 2 links removed which are still in the package separately The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time. The list of accessories is extensive so we have tried to photo all of them. This is the most original and well preserved red sub we have had the pleasure to find.
Model Notes:
The Rolex Red Submariner is a vintage watch that was produced in the late 1960s and 1970s. Its name refers to the word "Submariner" on the dial, which is written in red instead of white, as was typical for earlier Submariner models. The red lettering is a distinctive feature that sets the Red Submariner apart from other vintage Submariner models.
The Rolex Red Submariner is highly prized by collectors due to its rarity and unique design features. It is considered an iconic model in the history of Rolex watches, and its vintage styling and history add to its desirability. The watch was produced for a relatively short period of time, from the late-1960s to the mid-1970s, making it a relatively rare find.
As with other vintage Rolex models, the value of the Red Submariner can vary depending on a variety of factors, including its condition, originality, and rarity. However, due to its historical significance and popularity among collectors, it is generally considered a valuable and collectible watch.
