1978 Rolex Submariner Date ref. 1680 “White MK1 Dial, As Found Condition”

Up for grabs is a Rolex Submariner Date

Reference 1680

5.6 mil serial number circa 1978 production with MK1 white print dial

The watch was photographed and currently presented to you in “as found” condition. You can see the dirt, the buildup, the wear of it being used over the last decades. Showing it to you in this condition displays the watch in an original state and has no doubts that its had parts swapped around, polishing, cleaning, etc. It hasn’t been through multiple dealers, multiples resellers, flippers etc. If you request it, I am happy to clean it all up gently.

Dial is original, with very attractive heavy cream patina on plots and hands. No scratches, chips or drag marks. No relume.

Original crystal shows some scratches as expected, can be buffed upon request.

Bezel insert is original fat font and period correct.

Bracelet is a Rolex 93150 with 12 links, P date code and 593 ends. This is one component of the watch that is newer and not originally born with it.

No box or papers.
