The Rolex Red Dial Submariner 1680 Men's Watch Replica - The First Sub with a Date

Often referred to as the gateway into serious vintage Rolex collection, the Rolex red dial Submariner 1680 men's watch replica is an intriguing diving watch from Rolex's archives. Here are some top facts to give you better insight to this collectible timepiece. Actually, and I'll not repeat it, but just because I'm a pain, this is actually a Submariner Date.

First Submariner With A Date

The Rolex Red Submariner replica was produced from roughly 1969 to 1973 (some say 1966 as a start while others claim the watch went on until 1975). Aside from the red font that drives collectors batty, it's truly notable for one thing: it’s the first Submariner with a date. Obviously, this is significant because, if you look today, you’ll quickly notice that about 95% of all Subs on people's wrists seem to feature a date. The Rolex Cyclops actually started out years back in 1953 on the Datejust (some say the Turn-O-Graph), but, either way, it didn’t begin life on the Submariner Date.

Seven Dial Variations 

One of the attractions of collecting the Submariner 1680 replica is that there are so many dial variations - seven to be exact denoted as Mark I to Mark VIII (Mark II & III are classified together due to their similarities). Digging through the complex information, numerous disparities, and prized distinctions until you get your hands on the exact one that you want is part of the exciting challenge of collecting. As a general rule, the earlier models, especially those with the red writing, are the rarest, and thus the most prized among the dials.

When a Crystal Adds Serious Character

When I took possession of the Rolex Red Submariner replica, a couple things jumped out at me. First, and this is always nice to find, it had its original Twinlock crown (Triplocks came later at around the 3M serial number). So many Subs have lost their original crowns to Triplocks along the way, that it’s not overly common to find untouched specimens. Also, the original folded bracelet was present with what looks like an aftermarket or later replacement clasp (just the outer portion oddly), but it contains the "Pateted" wetsuit extension as a result of someone not using spellcheck at Rolex 45+ years ago. The lume pearl was gone, but the dial looked great. The crystal – not so much. It was chipped, showed some dust or lint, but it quickly showed its major flaw - it wasn't a "Top Hat".


1575 Chronometer movement

The Rolex Submariner 1680 replica features the 1575 Chronometer movement, which is essentially the same as movement 1570, only with the additional date feature. Like other Rolex watches of the time, the Rolex red dial Submariner replica has a depth rating of 200 meters (600 feet).

Conclusion

The Red Submariner was a first in many ways. The Rolex red dial Submariner replica is not only the first Submariner to feature the date window and cyclops lens, it also sports the highly sought after red writing. For the more conservative collector, the Rolex Submariner 1680 men's watch replica is a more affordable, yet still rare and aesthetically pleasing “red” Rolex.

Review the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘Tribute To 3705’ Replica

Review the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘Tribute To 3705’ Replica The original IWC Fliegerchronograph Keramik Ref. 3705 replica performed like a true stealthy pilot’s watch: It flew right under the radar of watch enthusiasts the world over. After a few years of just 1,000 examples navigating the IWC catalogs, the 3705 disappeared on the horizons, only to now re-appear in the form of the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Tribute to 3705” replica IW387905 , and that’s the watch we have in for review for you today. The IWC 3705 Replica The IWC Reference 3705 replica was IWC’s first Pilot’s Watch replica in black zirconium oxide ceramic. That novel and early use of black ceramic, and the fact that it has gone under without anyone really recognizing it for what it was, renders it quite a fascinating watch. Its stainless steel equivalent, the IWC replica Ref. 3706 and its subsequent iterations have carried on the compact pilot’s watch theme, but there had not been a true co
