votre avis sur cette 1680 RED

j’ai vu l’annonce sur le site

il annonce cadran mark 5 , cela devrait plutôt être suivant le numéro un cadran mark 4

sinon la patine est très homogène

Bracelet fort probablement changé, je pense qu’elle aurait du avoir un plié 9315/380…
Sinon, elle me parait plutôt pas mal.

Début 70, comme indiqué dans l’annonce, les bracelets étaient encore des pliés.
Les blindés sont arrivés fin années 70.

Bracelet

The bracelets are easily changed and therefore I would not look critically at a watch without a bracelet or if a watch has a later bracelet. I readily admit that I am not an expert on bracelets, so if you have any corrections or input, please feel free to make additions or corrections.

There are 5 bracelets that were manufactured by Rolex that fit Red Subs: (Updated 11-10-10)

1. The Early Red Subs were fitted with 7206 Swiss Made Bracelets with 80 End Pieces.

2. The 9315 Folded Link is considered the “correct” bracelet model for the Red Sub. Here are the important points to note:

The model “9315” should be stamped just prior to the end piece on at least one of the links.

· The correct end pieces are stamped “280” or “380”

· The clasps were date stamped from “67” to “72” Clasps without date stamps are from 1973+

· The folded bracelet was manufactured until the late 1970s

· The earlier version of the bracelet is known as the “Patent Pending” and is more expensive for its rarity and from demand by Double Red Seadweller collectors. They are stamped from “67” to “70” on the clasp and have “Pat Pend” stamped on the diver expansion when it is unfolded.

· It is not critical to have the exact year of your watch stamped on your bracelet or the date on the caseback. A bracelet that is dated a year or two after the caseback is perfectly fine.

· Unfortunately in order to shorten the bracelet, links have to be removed by a watchmaker or jeweler. It is also difficult to reinstall the links once removed and the links will be bent out of shape.

· Even bracelets found in superior condition tend to be very loose and feel flimsy when compared to modern bracelets, therefore most people find that they do not make a good daily wearer.

3. “USA Made Riveted” Bracelets — There have been more than a few Red Subs that were purchased from original owners that had USA Riveted bracelets on them. Whether they were originally installed, requested by the customer or switched by the dealer, we may never know for sure. Don’t be surprised if you find a Red Sub with this bracelet configuration. Keep these points in mind:

· These bracelets do not have a model number stamped and are simply known as “USA Made Riveted” Bracelets

· There is no diver expansion or a flip lock on this bracelet

· The end pieces are attached to the bracelet and are not stamped

· The clasp is the only component with stamped hallmarks

· There is always a date stamps that ranged from the 1960s to the late 1970s

· These bracelets have a “cheaper” feel than any of the other bracelets

4. Occasionally, a Red Sub will be found to have a 7836 Folded Link bracelet installed. Although it was designed primarily for the GMT and the Explorer II, the 7836 fits the Red Sub perfectly and can take “280” or “380” end pieces. The only major difference between the two models was the clasp. The 9315 had the flip lock and the diver’s extension and the 7836 did not have these two features.

5. The 93150 Solid Link with 580 end pieces was introduced in the late 1970s and is fully compatible with the Red Sub. In fact it is the most comfortable wearing bracelet for the Red Sub as well as other vintage Rolex models. These bracelets are less expensive than the 9315 because they are more readily available and are not sought by collectors looking to complete their Red Sub sets.

I prefer this bracelet for daily wear because it has a great feel/weight and the end pieces seem to fit better than the earlier models. Also, the links can be easily removed or added with a small screwdriver.

les red sont produites jusqu’au sérial 3,9 M il me semble, ce qui fait 1975, par contre je pensais que le 93150
était arrivé sur les 1680 dans la même période, non ???

non

effectivement, comme ça c’est clair, Merci TTmax

Quel est la différence entre les bracelets pliés et blindés de chez Rolex ? J’ai tenté de trouver par moi même mais je n’ai pas réussis.
