My first Submariner: 1680 Red with history
As some of you know, I'm transitioning my collection to focus on vintage (before they are even more expensive) and picking up new pieces later.
I made the hard decision to flip my BLNR in order to get a Red Sub, and what a sub I got! A new TRF seller, a jewelers in Albany, put one up for sale that was in near mint condition, unpolished with perfect even vanilla cream patina. In addition, it has an engraving on the back to A 'Ronald M Huan' and came with the military rolex catalog he bought it from! So excited, and love the top hat, but not sure whether to put it on a leather strap or wear it on the 9315 bracelet it came on (or get a new 93150). Anyways, thanks for everyone's help to get me to this point, here are a ton of pics, and happy Fathers Day weekend!         My vintage pieces so far, up next, rail dial sea dweller!  Sent from a block of 904L steel

Nice find Dave... did you take a trip up to Albany--that would time better spent than at Aaron Faber!

Very nice my friend. I'd take that all day long over a BLNR. It looks great on the bracelet BTW.

Here's his name listed as a shipmate, but unfortunately no year for when he was on board.
