Greetings Rolex fans!

I've negotiated a deal on another 1680 Red Submariner - a 1973 model. It's the head only and the pictures make it out to be in darn good shape - I'm buying it as a "project watch" to restore and resell. I'll take it to my local Rolex spa, and have the movement serviced, put on a new crystal, and have it polished up. I'll also have to order a 93150 bracelet with 580 ends. I'll also have an inner box and like most watches of this vintage, no paperwork was kept. The kicker here for me is the dial and hands look absolutely NOS from photos. So much so that I'm strongly considering putting the dial and hands in my 1970 Red Sub.

I'm really excited!!! This is my third Red Sub!! These restoration projects are a lot of fun for me!
