Another ResSub 1680 observation.

I've seen a few posts recently from individuals who have acquired the RedSub 1680. Seeing these watches always makes me smile. It's great to see that there are others who enjoy owning these older watches as well.

Such a comfortable and perfectly proportioned watch in my opinion...

Quick photo in the garden today...

Fantastic looking Red Sub you have. I think all the great pics shown by the members here certainly help to push folks in that direction.

Great watch! I love these, the perfect understated watch for everyday wear. Looks good with jeans or a suit!

My Red Sub

Hope this comes through. This is my Red Sub, s/n 222xxxx, given me for my high school graduation in 1974. My daily wear since that time... 40 years and 5 days....

Wow, awesome!! Looks like a Mark II or III to me but I'll let the experts chime in. A very valuable and beaufiful piece you have there. Enjoy it in good health!
