This beautiful Red 1680 is very much one of the latter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word 'unpolished' gets thrown around a lot in this community - more often than not inappropriately. But the Submariner Date we have here is the real deal - an untouched, unpolished case that shows beautifully defined beveling and the right amount of wear to prove its age and authenticity. No spin, no hype - just a great, honest watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatched up with a richly patinated dial and accompanying handset, and including its period box, 'Sub 200' information card and punched papers, this is a Red Sub worthy of the term 'Collector Grade'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't settle for a 'yes, but...' watch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Rolex Submariner was launched in 1954 and has been in continuous production ever since, making it one of the longest running models of any timepiece made. Ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, today, Rolex Submariners are significantly more… bling. With white gold surrounds and glossy black dials, the Submariner of today has become a status symbol and a piece of jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut from it’s origin, the Rolex Submariner was a stripped down tool watch, designed with one mission in mind. The clean, matte black dial and symmetrical hour plots was the hallmark of sub-aquatic, form-meets-function design. For decades, the Submariner was not a collectible Rolex; it was seen as a hardy watch chosen by those who needed something that could take a beating. And it did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29155628580951,"sku":null,"price":34000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/ocJ6jwPG.jpeg?v=1560883986","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-red-submariner-as03256","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
