juicemouse Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can anyone shed some light on what ref. 1680 means? As far as I can tell, everything is original although the cyclops looks like it has shifted? Is that possible? Still waiting on some pictures of the movement.

freddy333 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Every Rolex watch model has a unique model number. The 1680 is model number of a Submariner (diver's) watch with date Current values average between $5k-$7k, depending on factors like age, condition & provenance.

ogladio Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Amount of red text on the dial also affects price... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username here Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ah. I didnt read the ad! Saw this post and just glanced at the forum. What would you guys fair value for that watch? I looked, the recase was done by rolex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Good question, what's a recased watch worth? IMO, probably less than the $5K being asked, maybe $4.5K. It still has value as a beater, but it's not really a piece for a collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 As always, it is worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
