After a Red Sub

[SimNugget]

I have been searching for a 1973 red Rolex Sub for ages (1680 model).

They exist but seem to be very hard to find. What would be the best source for either private or dealer? I don't fancy eBay at all and want to buy from the UK so I can inspect it first.

I thought the number made was pretty high even if it is 40years old.

Cheers,

S

Try Mike Wood in Southport he is a expert on them and other vintage subs. See what he as in stock

Neil at chronomaster has two red subs and a double red SD has two on his website for sale. He is a great source as is Mike Wood.

One here for £8k but it's a '71, advert a bit lacking in any detail, one year guarantee http://www.tomcolljewellery.co.uk/vintage.php

Many red dialled ones were changed for the white dial at service; why not, no-one knew what was going to happen with the prices!

Most are with collectors and owners who aren't intending to sell. If you find a good one, grab it

Thanks guys, some goods sources that I was not aware of.

I shall make a few calls.....

Any experts care to comment on the two at Chronomaster.

To me the pics are the wrong way round. The cheaper one says it is a Mk6 face yet the pic shows a Mk4. The more expensive one says it is a Mk4 but looks like a Mk6 in the pics.

Thanks
