1974 Rolex Submariner 1680 Redsub

Bezel is missing. Minute hand has faded to eggshell color . This watch has not been worn in 30 years. Has never been polished. Crystal is scratched pretty badly because it was worn by a cricket player in the 70's.

isn't the glass suppose to be scratch proof ?

[irocz0r]

@Putonyoursunglasses No, these old Rolexes have acylic crystals, opposed to the modern ones which have scratch proof sapphire. The benefit of acrylic is that they it is extremely easy to remove scratches. I removed the scratches from this crystal a long time ago with a product called Polywatch. The crystal is now, excuse the pun, crystal clear. I never bothered to re-take the video.

why did you change the music? I liked the old sound track! This one is good too though :)

[irocz0r]

@shinydoorknob85 This video used to autoplay on my page, and I got tired of hearing that same techno beat every time I went to my page. So I changed it. I thought a classical tune would be befitting, and it also stopped auto-playing, so it's win-win.

Funky beats!

[irocz0r]

Just something random I found with Audioswap to make the video a bit more interesting. Rolexes don't tick very loud. :)

What a beautiful watch. One of the most gorgeous watches in the world. 1680. You should get it shined up, and buy a ceramic bezel for it?

Since you have a very expensive watch there (all original by the way) why don't you spend $10 in poliwatch or toot-paste and work on the crystal to give it the look it deserves?
