Rolex Jewelry
While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.
Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula.
But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.
But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.
Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.
The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.

Rolex Red Submariner 1680 Mark III Black Face, 1972
By Rolex
Located in Bilbao, ES
A 40 mm rare vintage Submariner Date in stainless steel by Rolex. The 1680 was the third Submariner produced by Rolex. Featuring a matte black Mark III dial distinguished by the 220m coming before the 660 ft which has closed 6's. The black bidirectional rotatable bezel, the last Submariner to have a bidirectional bezel, features 60-minute graduations.
An Oyster bracelet comes with an Oysterlock deployant clasp. Fitted with plastic glass and a self-winding automatic movement.
In excellent condition, this piece comes with a Rolex box, two year warranty and guaranteed authenticity.
Exclusivo, impecable y muy raro ejemplar Mark III Red Submariner con la descripción en meters delante de la medida imperial feet. Tiene complicación de fecha y aumento cyclops de fácil lectura.
Un solo propietario desde su compra en 1972 (probablemente fabricado en 1971). Siempre revisado en casa oficial, se vende recién revisado con garantía mundial Rolex hasta diciembre 2024.
Con número de serie 2,2M, este modelo Mark III pertenece a la última serie fabricada de Red Submariner con meters first. Esta fue la única serie –de RED- que no serigrafiaba la palabra SUBMARINER en rojo encima de la pre impresión blanca (como pasa en las series Mark I y II), por lo que la nitidez del contorno de la gráfica roja de esta exclusiva serie mejora las dos series anteriores.
Se identifican todas las características de este modelo en su dial de tritio con Fat Fonts y open 6 en la numeración “feet”. Los 9 y 6 del calendario también son abiertos. En la impresión “Ft” la forma de la “F” es diferente al MI, pero similar al MII. Pero hay diferencias entre los Mark II y este Mark III; El signo ¨=¨vuela más por encima del cierre del ¨6¨ de Feet. Toda esta gráfica de metros y feet es más gruesa y la inscripción ¨Ft¨tiene la ¨T¨más cerrada en su lado inferior.
Este Mark III es de los últimos fabricados antes de pasar a los diales de inscripción feet antes de meters.
El bisel admite giro en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj, cosa que Rolex retiró en los submariners posteriores. Tiene su movimiento original y típico que no detiene el segundero cuando se desenrosca la corona...

- How do I adjust a Rolex’s time?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To adjust a Rolex's time, first unscrew the crown.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Ideally, to prevent damage to your watch, it’s best to visit a Rolex dealer to have your battery changed.

- Is Tudor made by Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Tudor watches are made by Rolex. In fact, you often see the brand name referred to as "Tudor by Rolex."

You’ll find a large selection of both Tudor and Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- How do I wind a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To wind a Rolex watch, first fully unscrew the winding crown. Once it is in a raised position, carefully turn the crown clockwise. Most watches require 25 turns for enough winding to begin powering the watch. The instructions included with Rolex watches provide more information about how to wind specific models.

- How do I wind a Rolex Oyster?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To wind a Rolex Oyster, set the crown notch (located on the right hand side of the face) to position one. To set it to position one, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew the crown and pop the crown out one notch. From this position, start to wind the Rolex by turning the crown clockwise. You should feel a bit of tension and hear a soft clicking sound. Browse a selection of well-vetted Rolex Oyster watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Rolex Submariner bears an 18k stamp and the number “750,” which means that 75 percent of the watch is made out of pure gold model. The most luxurious of all timepieces, the Rolex Submariner has been continuously manufactured since 1951. Find vintage Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Each Rolex model may be slightly different, but most models feature a crown at the side that lets you adjust the time. Gently unscrew the crown by twisting it counter-clockwise. Gently pull it out and let it click through two extended positions until it reaches the third extended position. Twist it clockwise to adjust the time. When finished, press it back in and screw it in, in a clockwise direction to keep the watch waterproof. Browse through a range of authentic Rolex watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Rolex watch that is worn daily does not need winding. The Perpetual rotor uses the movement of your body to power the watch and it can hold this power for up to 70 hours. If you take off your watch for an extended period of time, more than the 70 hours, then it will need winding. Manual winding can be done by unscrewing the crown to the winding position and turning it clockwise about 20 times. Remember to screw the crown back tightly to reestablish its waterproof qualities. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

- Is Panerai better than Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Depending on what kind of watch you're looking for, one may be better than the other. For instance, if you want a highly functional sport watch, some of Rolex's models may be better for you. That said, the brands' watches are very similar quality-wise.
