heres some of my 1969 Red 1680. I think Rolex made a huge mistake when they stopped using these beautiful bevels.

Beautiful watches everybody....this thread amazing. Great pics

i agree Jockes pictures are always amazing. I still use one of his Red sub pictures as my screen saver. I cant wait to buy a better camera and improve on my terrible pics

My pics to start the thread are no match to Jocke's but let me share a secret how I take pretty good macro lug and dial shots with a $200 camera and a $10 loupe....
Using scotch tape, I tape a 10x loupe directly onto the lens of my $200 Canon camera. I have the macro mode on and take very close up photos throught the loupe.
Works for me.
BTW - this thread is making my day!

From a very raw, read that as case wear, MN 79, to a mid 70's 1680/8, and finally a 5512 from '62, you can see why so many collectors are passionate about these watches.

That's how I like it John

Thanks Tom. I know you have had a few of these pass through your hands over the years.
