Lazy red sub (1680) question

[thejerseyrock]

I know this is a bit of a lazy question (because I know how to do the research), but, being lazy at the moment... have the red sub (1680) prices gone WAY up in just the last 3-4 years?

[daydatepiepan]

Nah

I think that they might have gone up a teeny weeny bit, maybe!!

I think they may have Tom.

Mine is a ok example and I paid $22500 for it in 2014 , I was offered $40k for it three months back and seriously considered selling .

im wearing it today and I love it ,to everyone it just looks like a watch even if they know its a Rolex they still don't know how special it is and mine will be 50yrs old next spring at least by the date stamped in the case back .

It seems like all vintage have been rising sharply in price. I thought I paid a lot for my two red subs last year, but, with current prices, it seems that I got a bargain.

Na, they've gone down... You should sell me yours for whatever you paid for it...I'll even give you an extra grand. ;)

If that's the MKI from Andrew Shear that I seriously considered buying when it popped up on his site, then 40K right now is too low IMO. Full sets like this just don't come up.

All this talk about values got my thinking , What is a 1967 Patent Pending MK2 Dial worth today ?

That’s a beauty. Beau did a great job on that case. You’re a lucky guy to have picked that up when you did!

Hi Brad ,

I don’t know to be perfectly honest with you , I only know is it’s the one it came from Andrew with , I actually wear it every third week in rotation with my other two reds , I actually love the watch.

If it’s making money or has appreciated even better

Ic. Just wondering if the mk1 red sub came with a mk2 long 5 insert or mk3 insert.
