About this Rolex Submariner 40 Stainless Steel
The Rolex Submariner ‘MK 2’ 40mm Stainless Steel Circa 1977 is for sale as a one-off piece. The Submariner has been in continuous production since 1953 and is the reference point every other dive watch is measured against.
The case measures 40mm in stainless steel. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist.
A date display is set into the dial. Production dates to Circa 1977. The Rolex Submariner Reference 1680 “White Sub” Mark 2 is a highly sought‑after vintage diver from the mid to late 1970s, most commonly encountered between 1975 and 1978. Following the celebrated “Red Submariner” era, Rolex transitioned the reference to all white dial printing, creating a distinct aesthetic phase within the 1680 lineage. The MK2 dial, identifiable by its open 6 depth rating, balanced serif typography, and cream toned tritium plots, represents one of the most collectible configurations of the white text generation, a variant prized for its period correct character, transitional significance and enduring vintage appeal. Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.
