Specialist note

The present Submariner reference 1680 is noteworthy due to its retailers' signature, red Submariner writing on the dial, and very good overall condition with crisp milling on the back and sharp beveled edges. The numerals and hands have aged consistently together to form a very charismatic orange color. Overall, a wonderful watch in original attractive condition.
