Rolex Submariner Vintage

[watchdealer1]

I've been selling GENUINE rolex watches online for a while now and I just bought out a large hoard of mens two tone(18k yellow gols and stainless steel) rolex datejusts, they have diamonds and come with an appraisal certificate. I'm selling them for 5k US dollar. I also have stainless steel mens and womens rolexes, two tone men and women rolexes, breitlings, even gshocks. I also have platinum and fully diamond covered watches. PM me if you're interested. I also have hunter and MJ gem models.

@watchdealer1 That cool, i also sell two tone Rolex watches with diamonds. I sell mine for 3K US. so you should wire me the money and i will send you the watches and you can sell those for your 5k asking price and make good money. Oh yea mine also come with an appraisal also.

A Classic watch that will never go out of style.

Remember guys, it's a dive/tool watch. It's much easier to polish out a few scratches on the acrylic than tear the whole thing down to remove shards of sapphire from the movement. Not to mention the water damage that can result from salt. Acrylic has it's place and is used when it's the most efficient. Some people want sapphire just so they can say it's sapphire.

WHAT? I guess you don't now much about VINTAGE Rolex 1680 models BUT that is ACRYLIC. NOT SAPPHIRE. The watch was made in the 60-70's and they used acrylic back then. Now a NEW Rolex is ALL sapphire. Do some more research and you will see. Google ROLEX SUBMARINER 1680.

Is it sapphire glass?

[dustyflair]

no it's acrylic

[shelbyfahrer]

Acrylic? No go. If I would like to have an acrylic watch I rather would buy a cheap one like Swatch. For expensive watches sapphire is the way to go. Sapphire is a stone, a very hard stone, a gem. Almost like diamond. Almost undestructible. Go for it!

@shelbyfahrer I have to agree with dustyflair. Do some research and find out its acrylic

[shelbyfahrer]

Research? I have a lifelong experience with acrylic "crystals". It is even softer than paper, so guess what happens if you scrape with acryl against a wallpaper. I once had an Omega with hesalit, a kind of acryl. It was scratched after a few days. Hesalit is shit, so is acryl.

Sapphire is tough to scratch, but it can shatter. For a working diving watch, acrylic is arguably better. It may scratch, but you can polish it out, and it's almost impossible to break. Sapphire crystals aren't expensive anyway, they just sound like they are. They are best for dress watches, not watches that see hard use.

@humanity4408

I am working at a construction site. I would have to polish an acrylic watch every day. Believe me, sapphire is almost unbreakable. I hit a wall amost every day and nothing happens. You have to use a hammer to break a sapphire chrystal, i.e. you have to brake it deliberately.

@shelbyfahrer TOTALLY AGREE!

I have a vintage Submariner "red", trying to get information on restoring it.
