Rolex Ref: 1680 RED Submariner 3.18x,xxx Series.

Err...here's the additional pictures taken on the RED Submariner after it has been thoroughly checked...cleaned & having its crystal re-polished by hand before sending it to RSC KL for double reassurance of its authenticity & hopefully get the much needed replacement of the Tritium pearl on its bezel insert.

The later pictures would illustrate the watch after Orchi received it back from RSC KL...soon to be posted.

Hopefully soon also...Orchi would find the complete set of correct box...accessories n literatures for this STUNNING example of 1680 RED Submariner...

Hi Orchi,

It's me again, the guy who previously left a comment. You can call me Mark.

Man,... I'm really impressed by your collection.

Ever consider a DRSD? Besides the 5513 with 369 dial, I think DRSD is the most coveted vintage Rolex, IMHO.

But I'd want to get one 1680 too, it is still the most practical to wear everyday, just as DRSD due to the date.

You may want to see this collection of Mike Wood of Timezone. Simply amazing!! More than 50 pieces of vintages, mostly Sub and SD.

There is also this guy in Malaysia who sometimes trades and sells his awesome collection.

cheers,

Hey buddy Mark,
TQ for dropping Orchi further comments.

Mike's collection is super awesome n super amazing...

Would also be interesting to see buddy Philipps' collection...

Orchi's like a mosquito by comparison with the Jurassic Titans like them...

Yes Orchi had the privilege to deal with him n had pleasure meeting with Chin of Bubblebackclub...not too long ago for the 1st time...

He is very knowledgeable n most easy going guy around.

Orchi hopes to meet with you someday too.

Oh btw...Orchi is very lucky to get the RARE opportunity on the Red Sub from this part of the world.

n very fortunately...everything about the watch checks out fine...

Hopes to get a chance to chat with you soon...

Bye now...

Best regards
Orchi.
