Up for grabs is a Rolex Submariner Date in steel
1680 reference
3.0 mil serial number circa late 1971 production
Excellent vintage condition case has perviously been polished. Thick and even lugs with chamfers. Serial and reference numbers are fully intact and clearly visible. There is a clear tape over the serial number side to help preserve it (easy to peel off).
The dial is original MK V in excellent vintage condition. Very attractive creamy patina throughout. 99% flawless with exception of some of the large minute markers paint loss at the edge. Original and tritium hands are matching perfectly to the dial patina. Date disk with open 6’s and 9’s.
Bezel insert is a service replacement.
Caseback is original, stamped 1680 and III.71 inside.
Watch comes on vintage leather strap with steel buckle.
No box or papers. No documented service history. Watch winds smoothly and runs well.
