Apologies if this thread is slightly too old to bump, but I was searching for relevant posts, and wanted to ask those of you with much more experience.
I'm not particularly experienced with Submariners, but I've been offered this particular example in a country I'm visiting next month. I'm slightly dubious of the very fair price and the fact that I've seen some 'superclone' versions online, made to look aged. I've said I will take it to get authenticated prior to parting with cash, but I know some of you here will be able to immediately identify any little inconsistencies. These are the photos I have so far until I visit in person: |

This piece you're referring to seems authentic to me, based on the pics you posted, but thats my view..I may be rather inexperienced in these specifics,,,- so I can only defer to those more knowledgeable in this . Still, looks kinda good to me..?!?

If the rest of this 1680 reference is original, it would not be too difficult to bring it back
to close to " as issued." It is a nice watch. |

The bezel certainly looks acceptable to the normals.. The Bracelet I'm not sure about as far as being spec. But so many ppl have modified originals to their own tastes. You could make this 'your own'... - just sayin'

Interesting, true. I guess it's not like I intend to buy it as an 'investment'. I want to wear it and enjoy it, so having it as my own unique piece could work. I'm going to view it in a few days so I can find out more about it then. Perhaps I can just wear it on a strap as my field watch.

‘85 16800 Sub advice on repairs
First time poster. I’m Original owner and wearer of date Sub which is due for some maintenance. I like it being vintage but after 35+ years of daily use the oyster bracelet stretched too much being risky to wear so replaced a few years ago with Everest band. The dial is like to keep as is and dials. But the crystal and bezel have seen better days. Thoughts ?

Hello and good evening
Hope this question is ok I have this 16800 with glossy dial that has turned into a bit of matte look and with heavy patina (Pumpkin like) What makes the dial turn matte and what gives this strong patina to plots and hands? Could it be moisture or something else. See pictures - and does every thing on the dial looks fine? Thanks for your knowledge, experince and comments👏 |
