Pulled the trigger and bought my first vintage Rolex. Its a 1680 Red Submariner with a Mark VI dial. The case is pretty thick, with all the edges very outlined. The serial is 3.7xx and it comes with the correct 9315 bracelet.

Thanks for the advices and a special thanks to my good friend JFESTRELABR, who helped me with this acquisition.
I promise to upload some better pictures later.

Not necessarily thick, but domed. Plexiglass VS sapphire.

Wahlberg · 15 May 2016, 06:52 PM

The dome is amazing.

I can't explain why, but that's a lovely red sub with the "Top hat" acrylic crystal. It's not the "dome".
