Bob's Watches' Gold Rolex
Bob's Watches is the site for pre-owned Rolex watches. I loved the look and character of their Gold Rolex Submariner 1680.
A Little About The Gold Rolex Submariner 1680
- The Model 1680 Gold Submariner is the first to have a reference date window and was manufactured by Rolex for Tiffany Co.
- The 1680 was also the first gold Rolex.
- A golden anchor was produced to go with the watch .
- Vintage submariners have a thicker crystal made of acrylic which is shatterproof. They do scratch easy though.
- Vintage 1680s are difficult to find, making them more valuable and to many, more interesting.

Today marks the final painting in the 100 Watches in 100 Days for $100 each. The journey has been long and filled with hard work. You all who have participated and supported the project are to thank for making it possible.
What's next? The Book is next!
Along with other peripheral projects that are a direct result of the 100 Watches Project the book will be continuing the work we have embarked on to share our watches and the stories that surround them.
Today, Meisturwerk Machinen helps us to signal the end of one stage and the transition to the next. We will be reviewing how the project has grown and identifying significant aspects that have emerged with the project.
This is not the end...
Watch 99 Rolex
This Rolex Sporting Prince Travel Watch watch was submitted by Gene Stone. Author of 'The Watch', -the definitive book on the wristwatch.
'The Rolex Sporting Prince Travel Watch, is the holy grail of travel watches, the one that no collection can be complete without. It took me years to find it, and it’s beautiful. It’s the photo on my Facebook page as well. The Prince was introduced to the market in 1928, and was sold primarily as a wristwatch. Only a small number of these travel watches were ever made.'
Watch 98 Invicta

Watch 97 Original Penguin
This Pebble Beach Pimp Le Gold Digital Watch watch was submitted by Robert Twitty. -instagram user @maxtwitty, @gentsamongmen
'This watch was inspired by James Bond’s first digital watch, featured in the opening scene of Live and Let Die.'
After four+ years of having this watch I still cannot stop looking at it. I think it was worth paying a small price to a lot of attention. At least that's what the watch says.'
Watch 96
ThisTudor watch was submitted by Rick Kenner (instagram user @omegawatchdaily).
'The watch is from 1968. I love watches that have an interesting provenance. Clearly this timepiece was given after 30 years of work. I always feel honored when I get to wear something that someone worked a lifetime to receive.'
Watch 95 Nomos
This Nomos GLasshutte Zurich Weltzeit watch was submitted by Sean Hunter. -instagram user @maurice2u
'From the now infamous origin of German watchmaking, Nomos takes its place among great in house movement watchmakers with a style and character all its own. Glashutte, the small village home of the great A. Lange & Söhne and Glashutte Original, now has a third pillar of finely engineered art. The Zurich Weltzeit is a unique take on a 'world timer' from Nomos and is a stand out piece for today, and years to come.'

Watch 93 Seiko
This Seiko Sports watch was submitted by Emir Kozikoglu. -instagram user @kozikus
'This is the one I got with my first paycheck. I wanted it because it pays homage to my dreamwatch, the original Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. It looks vintage and modern at the same time and it is built like a tank.'
