The Red Sub is my favorite watch of all time, the one I would pick to wear for the rest of my days. To me, it checks all the boxes, and it's just easy. The style is classic enough to really work with everything, it has a date function that's pretty useful, and to spice it up, there's that little line of red text. Rolex used red text in some of the earlier Submariners but stopped after the 1680. In recent years, the brand brought back some red text in the 43mm Sea-Dweller, paying homage to the OG Sea-Dwellers, but it's really not the same thing. It's funny, when I was first introduced to the Red 1680, I wasn't a fan of the top-hat style crystal. Now it's one of my favorite details. From the different mark dials to the band-aid textured lume to the folded-link bracelet, these have so many little details to obsesses over. The bracelet on this watch has an error divers extension where Rolex misspelled "patented," instead spelling it "pateted." It's uncommon for Rolex to make a mistake like this, so many collectors find this desirable because it differentiates the watch from others.
