Rolex Sub 1680 - Advice

[wahasa]

Hi Guys!

Well after I got the 5513 a couple months back, I was looking for a 1675 or a 1680 and I just found one locally!

It looks nice but the hands are not matching with the dial (not sure which is a replacement). The bezel insert is fat font and I dont think that the case is polished much as it looks thick to me.

Your thoughts?

Thanks

hard to tell from those pics, but the dial/hands look like quite a good match to me. All depends on price.

So far its for $6,800. I am not sure but I might be able to bring it down to $6,000 with some proper negotiation.

Let me know your thoughts so far and if its a good deal I might go again and get details pics and ref number to re-share. Btw no box no papers as usual...

Thanks again

that price point seems high for a white sub.

Should be more around the $5k mark IMO.

if your doubting it now , you will really not be happy in the long term , wait till you find one that just sings to you ,,, its not cheap so as my granny used to say ,,, spend in haste repent at lesure.

Hi Wahasa. I realize you are based in the UAE. I'll be there next week. Any good addresses for second hand Rolex? I had never thought before of going watch hunting there, but who knows what I could find? I'm excited now......:-)

Still what are the pros and cons of the above watch? What year is it estimated from the dial?

Wahasa,
Pics are not too good, so difficult to give a final says on anything, but let me try:

- Bracelet is well stretched and shows quite some wear. Polished case too. Dial looks good and hands seem to match the dial. No B&P I suppose? Watch is nice but price is outrageous.

-We would need pics of movement and base back as well, to further qualify what we are saying.

Giving a date without a serial no is beyond my knowledge. I'm not aware of too many dial Marks in white 1680s.

Hope this helps.

If you have an opportunity, take a close up picture of the dial with the time set at around 9:15 to show all the writing on the dial.

I do not know if the crystal's age is making the dial writing look distorted because it is difficult to make out the proper identifying marks for a definite identification with that picture.

It would help if you knew the partial serial of the case as well...
