Plastic Crystal Rolexes...

Top: my long gone 1680 RED Submariner, sorely missed!
Above: a 1680 Red Submariner (mucho Rare c. 1970's) and a 5508 (extremely Rare c. late 1950's)

I don't preach much about certain watches, but I have noticed that Plastic Crystal Rolexes, in particular Submariners and Seadwellers, are getting rarer and rarer to find. These Plastic crystal Rolexes are all vintage as the current versions are synthetic Sapphire. The prices of the Plastic Rolexes are sky rocketing. For example; Ref 1680 White Dial Submariner 4 year ago would be around $3800 - $4200 AUD. Now they go for around $5500 - $6000 AUD.

Vintage Rolexes have a charm and character in which the modern versions don't exhibit. I guess anyone can walk into a Rolex dealer and buy a new Submariner (one of the best sellers), but getting a nice Plastic Submariner is another matter of sytle.

Enough preaching... I will something more about these later.
