Iv noticed that you can buy a brand new sub for about the same price as the vintage ones. What makes them hold there value so well. . My little bro acquired this one not to long ago . It's a 69 with original box , seal, paper work and recipe. Could some one she'd some light on maybe a value for it
The word ROLEX on the dial. The general public has been brainwashed to believe Rolex is the best watch ever by the best marketing ever.
I dunno about you, but I love me some Coke. Edit: As in Coca-Cola, classic. No "new" Coke for me, please.
Nice 1680, I believe 1969 would be Red Submariner though which is worth a bit more. If that's the case, dial has been replaced. Bezel is nice though.
Shame it doesn't have the red dial, would have made an amazing set. If you pull the crown out, does the time stop (hack) or does it keep ticking?
The Calibre 1570 movements had non-hacking variants originally through to about '73 or so, my 1680 is a white sub from '79 and has the hacking movement. As Kyle mentioned it would be interesting to hear what the serial is (leave the last few digits out if you like).
No, I think they'd become even more valuable. One guy owning a huge number of NOS vintage Rolex models? I'd be ruler of the universe.
