UK Perfect Replica Rolex Submariner ref. 1680
The top fake Rolex Submariner ref. 1680 watches were introduced in 1969 and is the first Submariner reference with a date window. Rolex produced the watch with the Submariner text printed in red until 1975, hence its nickname “Red Sub.” From 1976 until 1979, the brand made the same reference with a matte black dial with the Submariner word printed in white. While most people would probably pick the Red Sub, I have to say that I have grown to like the simplified dials that came after. Still, seeing a Red Sub truly feels like something special.
However, it must be said that the Red Subs are not as rare as some make them out to be. The top copy watches were produced with red text on the bottom half for most of its production run. Knowing that the reference’s total production number is over 110,000 pieces will give you a good indication that it’s actually not that rare at all.
Regarding specs and details, the high quality replica Rolex watches came with 40mm stainless steel case similar to the dateless versions. The main visual difference between the ref. 1680 and the ref. 5512/5513, besides the date window, is the crystal. Not only does it have the characteristic cyclops, but it’s overall a lot higher than the crystal of the versions without the date. I quite like seeing that profile because it gives the watch a ton of character. Would I pick it over a ref. 5513? The answer would be a definite no, but it would not be far down the list of favorites that come after.
Finding your favorite may take time
Inside the case, Rolex used its automatic caliber 1575. This movement operated at 19,800vph and offered 48 hours of power reserve. Rolex used the caliber for the entire production run of the Submariner ref. 1680. Once its successor, UK cheap super clone Rolex ref. 16800 watches were presented, and the brand upgraded the movement to the caliber 3035.
Prices for a ref. 1680 start just under €10K. That will buy you a version with the Submariner text in white. The prices for Red buy replica Rolex Submariner watches start at a little over €15K, which is remarkable, as I just explained, because most of the production numbers come with the red text.
Prices for the ref. 1680 easily move up to €30K for the rare dial variants and the pieces in excellent condition. But you can easily buy one with a clear all-white-text dial between €10K and €15K. If you insist on a Red Sub, you’ll have to save up at least €15K to €20K. That will get you classic online replica Rolex Submariner watches. Sure, it’s not the dateless Sub most of us would pick. But I have to say that its historical relevance and the clunky stacking of elements make up the characteristic profile of the ref. 1680. It’s a winner in my book.
