]Hi all
Happy to be a part of this forum. I’m here because I have been collecting and wearing vintage watches for quite a while. I own 1 Rolex a 1956 Oyster Perpetual Date. My watch repair man has had the watch for a long time and has had trouble getting the date wheel right. I joined the forum to learn more about Rolex watches especially vintage Submariners and Sea Dwellers. I’d like to add possibly a 1680 Submariner to my collection. I have been looking for a few months trying to find one in my budget that is not over polished and one that does not have replaced parts.
Found one for sale but not sure if it has any replaced parts- dial hands crown bezel? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Andy
