Hi All,
Looked at a R1680 TT Blue Sub today with a Serial number of 88 mil.My question is, Are the TT Sub's as collectable as the Black's and ,or is this not early
enough to command a premium.
Best Nick,

I am glad I am the first to respond. I believe I am correct when I say there is no such thing as the 1680 TT sub, if by TT you mean stainless and gold. The ones you see for sale are parts from other subs like dial, bezel, and bracelet. Kind of neat but not collectible. If you mean a 1680 or a 1680/8 that is in 18k solid gold they are great looking.

Thats right. There is an all gold 1680 and a SS 1680 but not a two tone 1680. There have been a couple of made up or franken TT1680s on ebay but these were not a Rolex product. The serial no. of 8 million is also wrong for a 1680 IMO.
