Sorry for yet another Rolex titled thread!
For several months now I have been looking to get a vintage Submariner Date. One that can be used for everyday, including swimming. But has the amazing patina that the vintage models have acquired.

Initially and to a degree I would have gone for a 1680. But others members have suggested that using a watch that is 50 years old may not be the best model. For obvious reasons.
So my choices, in that case are 16800, 168000 or 16610.
The overriding factor being that it has gained the patina.

I am seeking advice from the members regarding this subject. Both pros & cons.
Also your thoughts on the possibility of using a 1680?
Of course photos are most welcome.

I am not considering a modern piece. And have since tried on the new 41mm Sub. But found it to be to large.
Thank you for any suggestions and advice.
