The original. The best.

[toomuchtalk]

Still think this is one of, if not the quentisesel Rolex watches.

[Rolextraderflorida]

Could not agree more.

27 years old and it's still got it! Will the ceramics be as cool in 27 years?

[Marine1981]

Can't argue, a friend asked me which watch should be his next, he's been buying watches for years but has never bought a high end brand. He was looking a number of big brands, however I told him to get a no date sub. He's been very happy with the watch and has said he couldn't have bought a better watch for all occasions

I agree. As much as I love the explorers and gmts, and I know every man and his dog has a submariner, and the Sea Dweller and Deep Sea are bigger and better; I can't help think this is still the do it all-go to-ultimate one watch rolex....

No offense, but it deserves a better picture than that

Yes the Ceramics will be as cool in 50 years...because they are ceramic

[GeoGio Greece]

You are one of the few, that can suggest a good every day - everywhere watch.

No doubt. I see no reason why.

No doubt - I C. You C. He, she and it C. Sometimes, I get the impression that it is just too much talk.

[FTX I]

The 1680 is the original Submariner Date.

[Loevhagen]

Date? Why.

I personaly don't get the date version on a Submariner. It is useless as a Submariner.

[Invictus Maneo]

I totally agree ! But then again I'm biased .

[locutus49]

That you don't get it says more about you than us. With all due respect.

We like a date function so we can see the date at a glance, and we aren't diving 24/7. I can't count the times I had to sign papers and glanced at my Sub to confirm the date, Bloody brilliant function.

And I for one prefer the cyclops look, it adds to the watch's appeal IMO. But that is why they produce two kinds of Subs: for those who "get" the date and those who don't

Or for those who can remember the date and those who can't

Totally agree and further to this....I write anywhere from 100-200 cheques a month......and I always forget what day it is.....having the date is KEY for me....I have switched from Daytona as a daily to explorer 2 as a daily for the date alone! Daytona is for weekends now when I just don't care what day it is

Oh and I leave my phone in the car when I am at the site offices so please don't say just check your phone LOL

And yes.....the sub is the best all around iconic every day Rolex :) I guess I will throw in a picture of a modern sub

She even got a little water on her...I hope its okay

probably will be the last watch to leave my collection, despite it not feeling that exciting, why? Because is a Submariner..........

[Racerdj]

Great shot!

[Catyack]

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[brandrea]

If I were to play word association and someone said Rolex .... I'd be very likely to say Submariner

[Rashid.bk]

I really really like that picture. As timeless as the watch, hope you don't mind I saved it.
I gotta say though that I'm partial to this model, The 1680, wow...now this really makes me all warm inside. And yes with a date.
I will own one soon.

In 27 years the Sub C will still be 'cool'

[lapince]

Didn't buy my first Rolex until a few years ago when they had full metal links and good quality clasps and not these "tuna can" clasps, but I guess it's just a question of taste...
