Opinion on this 1680?
Hi, was looking at this 1680, any comments on how collectible these are and if the price is right? What year is it from?

That a good piece, price seems to be right considering it has got papers & box, its from year 73/74.. Dial looks clean, case is pretty fat with some dings all round.

Very reasonable price for a very nice piece! Hard to find with B&P.....and with the strong Aussie dollar...it's definitely worth considering.

Eric's pieces are top notch. Thats a lovely Red and that price is fair for punched papers. A set like that is very collectible, I wouldn't have any hesitation! :)

1680 with papers and box is a great way to go for your first vintages. The papers will help this watch keep its value over the years.

Bummer. Eric will def follow through with you if that one falls apart or he comes across another so if you're serious to buy, be sure you let him know :)
