·Even without a bracelet, that is dirt cheap, and suggests the seller is aware of the service dial.
A 1680 with service dial and no patina will run $11k-$11.3k. I sold one to a dealer who listed and sold it at this price just a month ago.
$8.8k cheap for a service dial WITH a nice patina, and even taking into consideration the polished lugs and sans bracelet.
We all have different market value tolerances, but if you are not happy with the overall condition, you should avoid this watch and save $3-4K for a better one.

·Hi everyone, I have recently been offered a Rolex Sub 1680 without box and papers. I have been reading a lot about 1680s but was still unsure how honest this piece is.
I would really appreciate any kind of inputs and help from members here.
I have been reading that there are some Vietnam cases of 1680 circulating and it worries me.
This watch is a clear example of dishonest techniques. Service dial and also faded. To save your money was the best option 👍

·Watch is a mess. Should be a red 1680 dial for that serial number, of course, the case ain't great at all, and I don't like what I see in the lume on the dial, nor cracking hands. Look how some of the hour plots almost seem glued on, with paint exposed underneath. They should also have a waffle texture.
Hard pass, at any price.

·Never buy a sub par example...a watch with issues, is a watch with issues. Nothing appealing in that example...
