Rolex “Red Sub” Submariner Ref. 1680 Ghost Bezel

This Rolex reference 1680 “Red Sub” is a great ‘date’ Submariner  in stainless steel. The watch features a 2.4M serial number and dates to circa 1970. It is paired with a reference 9315 Rolex folded link Oyster bracelet dating to 1970. It comes with the correct 280 end-links. We believe it to be original to the watch. The dial is attractive and features Submariner in red writing. The bezel insert has faded to a grey “Ghost” color. The case has been polished in the past. 

The lug-to-lug length is approximately 47mm and it measures 40mm in diameter excluding the crown. 

The watch does not come with a box and papers. We do not know the service history but it is running well. The watch recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.
