Incoming - 1680 Red MK I

Thanks to Robbyvm for making my first vintage Rolex purchase so smooth. It feels great to have achieved the grail (for the time being). This special watch has been on my wrist since I got the shipment earlier this month.

This is probably a no brainer question, do any of you vintage enthusiasts swim with your watches?

I wouldn't, based on advices from different owners and people at the vintage watches dealers.

Fair enough, I knew this would be the answer. Wear it in good health, my friend!

Too many other watches you can use to swim with carrying a modern serviced seal/waterproofed case/crystal....not worth the risk with these valuable keepsakes IMO.

Great catch OP, beautiful red sub.
