Up for sale is my 1680 Sub w/ MK1 dial, all original parts. Looking to buy something so unfortunately this gorgeous piece has to find a new owner.

Asking $12,000 shipped, payment by wire or Paypal (buyer pays fees and insurance)

Serial: 5 mil serial dates to 1977 production. The cool thing about this watch is is that the last 4 digits of the serial are also 1977, which makes this a killer birth year that year.

Case: excellent condition with thick and even lugs, crown guards. Numbers between lugs are clear.

Case back: original stamped 1680 inside; light engraving on the back (can be worked out fairly easily I think if you choose)

Dial: Flawless MK1 with creamy patina on plots and hands, all original and unadulterated; original silver date disk with open 6s and 9s

Bezel: insert is excellent with original tritium pip

Bracelet: 93150 with 11 links; links are tight

Watch is running well, no service history known, no box or papers

I’m a private collector, not a dealer, so will not be doing returns. Please ask any and all questions before purchasing. Feel free to email me [email protected] and/or text me at 248.915.8809.

 

Any movement/caseback photos?

 

I don’t have the tools to open it up unfortunately and don’t want to mess with it for fear of damaging something. Having said that, if anybody is interested, pls message me and we can chat. If all else good - I can go to a watch servicer in the city and open it up.

It’s this watch from Kirill: https://lunaroyster.com/product/1977-rolex-submariner-ref-1680-mk1-dial-great-patina-all-original/

Hope that inspires confidence

 

Lunaroyster?

 

You know ... in case you have any loose papers that need to be secured.

 

Can't tell if this is sarcastic

 

May I ask how you bypassed the 200 post rule??

 

Now if you could make it so I was born in 1977 then I would definitely buy this watch!
Good luck with your sale.

 

I believe it’s because his join date predated the 200 post rule (or during the period when exceptions were granted)? I don’t think it was a retroactive rule?

 

@Bill Sohne @MSNWatch ?

 

Serviced by paper clip boy himself.

 

Did you sell this? It’s listed back on his website.

 

Yes we struck a deal yesterday as he was interested in getting it back. Wanted to update here once I confirmed it landed with him. And for what it's worth, I'm sorry I created a distraction with my rule-stepping and mention. I and some people I know have only had positive experiences with Kirill and I wasn't aware of the reputation here. Again my apologies, I'll be more mindful and vigilant in the future. I think I will take some time to build up some post reputation & trust around this forum before I list again so my exemption can be earned.

Sold, thank you OF for the space.

 

And some people wondered why the mods introduced the 200 post rule....

 

Well it was a very nice watch, and if you can't see that you need to adjust your goggles! Glad you found a buyer, another legitimate sales post bombed on OF!
