Wow this is an incredible thread!

I recently came across a 1680 Red Sub Tiffany and was hoping to get some experts to weigh in. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

These 1680's are fantastic and comfortable to wear. The red makes them even more special.

Zapokee, Jacek is a trusted seller with an excellent reputation. This is a very nice example and mine too is a 330 serial. Welcome to the #RedSubClub

If you create a separate post in the Vintage Forum, let us know. There will be some experts who can weigh in there. The RedSubs are special, and the best way to authenticate the Tiffany is the original Tiffany box and papers.

Here are a couple more of my 1680 with a new (old) mark 3 insert. I changed the insert a while ago but never posted any new pics here. It's a 3.40 serial #

MK5 3388xxx with box and papers.

Came with wrong insert (long 5) so needed a swap - the long 5 went in something that should have a long 5 in it so everyone's a winner.

I see that this thread started back in 2012.

What were the market price for 1680 Red Sub's in 2000, 2005, and 2010?

I feel in 2015 the market is hovering around $13k to $15k for good examples and around $19-20k for complete sets. But I think I remember seeing Red Subs going for $13k in 2011...

Anyone have data?
