Original matte black Mk1 "White" dial

Original matte black dial with luminous markers & Mercedes hands. This dial type was the successor to the Single Red Submariner and the first 1680 dial that featured the Submariner text in white, referred to as a Mk1 “White” dial. The dial is marked  “Swiss-T<25” referring to the original tritium luminous used on the dial which is showing a nice patina. The dial has not been touched and remains in excellent original condition.

Steel case with "top hat" plexiglass & 60 minute rotating bezel

Submariner reference 1680 in stainless steel. The 5.0 million serial number in-between the lugs corresponds with original Rolex guarantee paperwork dating the watch to 1977. It features a “Top Hat” plexiglass crystal with “Cyclops” magnifying the date and Rolex triplock crown. The case has not been polished by us but does appear to have been lightly polished most likely during Rolex service. The rotating bezel with 60 minute insert appears to be a service replacement.
