Individual sale results, not an estimate. Too few to publish a range yet, and each watch differs in condition and set.

Forum rows are posts on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums and WatchUSeek that the seller marked sold. The amount is the listed price when marked sold, not a confirmed sale price, and forum rows do not feed our price.

Price by condition

We will show a range for each condition (unworn, excellent, good, fair) and a price history once enough sourced observations exist for the Submariner Date 1680. When it is published, this section lists:

  • a range and a typical figure for each condition, with and without box and papers
  • how many sale results back each row, and the date of the newest one
  • the monthly price history, with the same results as a table

The Submariner Date 1680 at a glance

The 1680 is a discontinued Submariner Date with a 40 mm stainless steel case and the calibre 1575. Examples with red Submariner text on the dial are known as the Red Sub; later dials have white text. We don't record its production years, because our sources disagree on them.

The gold version is a separate reference and is not covered by this page.

We don't publish a fair-value range for the 1680 yet: there aren't enough recent public sale results to support one. When there are, this section shows the range, the date of the newest result and how many results it rests on.

What affects the price

Dial. A red-text dial and a white-text dial sell differently, and an original dial matters more than almost anything else on a watch of this age. Ask whether the dial has been replaced.

Bezel and insert. Inserts were often swapped over the years; an original insert with even fading is a plus.

Condition. Once there are enough sale results, this section will show a separate range for unworn, excellent, good and fair examples.

Box and papers. A watch sold with its box, papers and service records is easier to sell and to verify than a watch on its own.

Retail reference. We don't show a list price for this reference, because we only publish one we can confirm from a source we can cite.

Recent movement. Once there is enough sale history, this shows how prices have moved over the past year.

Tips for buyers

  • Confirm the reference is 1680 and the movement is the calibre 1575.
  • Ask whether the dial, hands and bezel insert are original.
  • Ask when the watch was last serviced and what was replaced.
  • Until we publish a range, compare several current listings in the same condition and with the same box and papers.

Tips for sellers

  • State the dial type, and include any papers and service records.
  • Don't polish the case or replace parts before selling.
  • Photograph the dial, bezel and caseback in daylight.
  • Get more than one offer, and ask each buyer how they arrived at their number.
