My first vintage rolex!
Just wanted to say what a pleasure it's been reading through this board. I finally took a dive into the world of vintage rolex and picked up a 1680 from Andrew Shear. Hopefully it'll be the first of many as eventually I'd love to pick up a 5513 and red sub but one thing at a time I suppose. :) Here's a pic of my new baby!

Welcome to TRF from another Canuck...
 Nice looking 1680! I also would like either a 5512 or 5513, maybe even a 1963 (birth year) model...sigh |

Wear her well. As of late I am no longer referring to anything that is at least not older then me as VINTAGE!!! You have a nice new modern Rolex.. I hope you understand that bit of sarcasm....

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I'm looking forward to being an active member on the board and of course, owning more rolexes. Lol
@old 5.0... You can't be that much older than this '75 model.. :p |

Just a quick question... Does anyone think the pearl/bezel is original to the watch? Andrew thinks so but in a little unsure as the pearl is a different color from the hands/dial. Regardless, stull absolutely in love with the watch. Any comments appreciated! Thx
