It was very common for Rolex to change and update watches when they come in for routine service and that is exactly what happened to this 1680. This example was born a "Red Submariner," and had that changed during a service. This was not uncommon for Rolex to do, we see it all the time. These all serviced up examples offer a great value and are ideal for daily wearers.
