The Rolex Submariner 1680 here dates to 1979 and sports a Mk2 dial. The tritium lume on the markers and hands has aged to a rich, creamy hue, and the dial remains free of imperfections. The case has been polished in the past but remains strong—especially the lugs. The original Mk3 insert has faded to a striking blue colour, offering amazing contrast to the dial. The original silver date wheel is still present, and the full-link 93150 bracelet shows minimal stretch, the clasp is a service replacement from 1995.
