Beyond its technical capabilities, the Submariner has become an icon in the world of watches, with a timeless design that has remained largely unchanged since its introduction. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential watches of all time, and has become a symbol of Rolex's reputation for quality, durability, and precision. The Sub has been worn by everyone from professional divers and military personnel to Hollywood celebrities and heads of state, cementing its place in the pantheon of iconic watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Submariner, circa 1972, is affectionately referred to by collectors as the \"Red Sub\" due to its red model text on the dial. Compared to the normal reference 1680s of the era, these pieces have a special aura and have become very desirable in top condition. This example is a seldom seen find given its relatively complete delivery of accessories from its inner and outer boxes, punched warranty papers, booklet and wallet. It has remained in very nice vintage condition overall with a warm patina'd \"mk5\" dial that has no distracting wear. The insert retains dark pigment with minimal signs of use. The case is also thick and evenly proportioned. It comes fitted to a Rolex folded link 9315\/280 that shows a '71 date code and light stretch. It retains 11 links fitting an approximate 7.25 inch wrist. We're thrilled to offer this lovely example which has just come from a full service and is ready to enjoy for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more of our vintage \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vintage-rolex-watches\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Vintage Rolex watches at Collectors Corner NY\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRolex watches\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951602172180,"sku":null,"price":27000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-submariner-1680-red-sub-box-papers-hero-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1793847279","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-submariner-1680-red-sub-box-papers","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
