Hi, I just purchased a red Sub 1680 from a credible eBay seller. It includes punched Rolex papers, box, etc. It bid up to $11,600. So... I'm truly soliciting brutally honest opinions -- although I'm new here, no feelings will be hurt I promise. (Of course I'm hoping for good news instead.) How did I do? Pics attached.

Welcome to the Forum!

A very nice package, unfortunately, it did not include the bracelet.

Is your concern related to authenticity or price?!

Was wondering about price. I'm a babe in the woods unfortunately. Thanks for the link to the other discussion!

To some price may sound a little high, since you have to purchase a bracelet. New bracelet around $800, price for a right period bracelet $500+ depending on condition.

The plus with the package is the tag and papers.

You did well!

Admire it, get a bracelet and wear it!

Welcome to the vintage forum. IMHO all research should be done before a purchase. Only you will know or understand if you payed too little or too much.Enjoy the nice red sub

I would say price is 'subjective' unless it is far off.
if you are happy with it, $ should be secondary

congrats on your red, I understand it is a 'collector' watch

Congratulations on your acquisition. That is a nice watch and not too many of them around as I understand it.
