Rare Mens Rolex Submariner  #1680 Vintage 18K Yellow Gold Tropical Coffee Watch

"Serious Rolex collectors are a strange bunch.  They tend to go nuts over watches that others would call "old" and "weathered".  Of particular to interest to Rolex collectors are "tropical" dials, dials that have faded to a nice brown color due to exposure to the sun and other various forms of light.  A Paul Newman Daytona, a watch that would normally fetch around $100,000, brought down over $470,000 because it had a tropical dial.  Tropical Explorers, GMT's, and Submariners are really prized, " HODINKEE
