1680 Red Submariner
I am helping my father in law identify his 1680. I believe it's a Mark II ... Any thoughts?

No vintage expert here, but what a beautiful sub! May he continue to enjoy it for many years!

As per Mondani's book I believe it is a MK1. Sharper crown edges on the dial and the f in feet does not extend as far as the end of R in SUBMARINER (as it does on MK2). He's got a keeper there!!
As per the website linked above MK3. |

Gadhi my pictures with this iPhone 6 are terrible. He has had it services once 20 years ago in Switzerland at an RSC. I have pictures of him receiving it after the service.
Excuse my ignorance, what does "tropical" refer to? |

Just saw Gandhi's last response.
Thanks all for the help. I will let him know. As I stated he has worn it as part of his collection for years and didn't know he had an rare version. I specifically noticed the red submariner after reading this forum. |
