Thanks Danny

The technical drawings come from the book "Vintage Rolex Sports Models" . The pics are showing the evolution of the Submariner shape over the years. However, the 1680 isnt illustrated on that list. Talking of books, I had the pleasure of sinking a few beers over easter with Gabriel (Sweargen) and we spent most of the time drooling over the pictures in the italian book "Submariner Story", some very rare specimens listed in that book Some people were giving us some stange looks when we started comparing Red Subs and flicking through the pages between pints
