hi, considering to pull the trigger on one of this. Like to check if you guys have any opinion on this 1680 sample.

Thanks!

Vincent65 · 16 April 2016, 06:25 PM

whats not to like? It's all down to how much...

J!m · 19 April 2016, 03:34 AM

Agree. Nice piece if the price is right!

No bracelet I see so consider that in the value. I see watches with no, or incorrect bracelets selling (asking anyway) for the same as complete correct examples.

swish77 · 19 April 2016, 06:06 AM

Great matching patina! What's the asking price?

ADINVA · 19 April 2016, 01:55 PM

Do the hands look like they had been relumed? Just wondering.....

nintendo · 21 April 2016, 12:20 AM

hi guys, the asking price is about 5.6k usd, watch only, seller is throwing in a leather strap and aftermarket buckle. is that alright? thought it is slightly on the steep end.

jdmi32 · 21 April 2016, 01:48 AM

I'm not too sure about the hour hand.

yannis · 21 April 2016, 02:20 AM

Looks nice. Great patina on this 1680!

clock · 21 April 2016, 03:01 AM

If from a trusted seller at that price, and you love the watch, buy it.

Elle84 · 21 April 2016, 03:08 AM

The price is correct.
The watch from this photos look really nice.

For more information we may need photos of the serial, ref and backcase.

nintendo · 28 April 2016, 11:59 AM

Hi all. Thanks for the replies, the watch is a 6.1mil series and circa 1979. Just wondering if anyone could identify the mark for this specimen?

I love the color of the dial and hands

droptopman · 28 April 2016, 01:06 PM

Very nice example. Price is fair. Great patina on dial, hands and insert.

nintendo · 28 April 2016, 01:37 PM

One more photo from the seller. Do the hands look ok?

vintagemyk · 28 April 2016, 02:59 PM

Nice looking watch. Just be careful with watches that have perfect matching patina. Some repaint the hands just to drive the prices up. But i dont know how to spot an original and a repainted one. Goodluck!

nintendo · 29 April 2016, 12:27 AM

Thanks everyone for your kind advice!

Here's an actual wristshot

Zoran · 29 April 2016, 01:42 AM

I like the watch.
Nice overall look and sweet patina.
Hands could be colored, but as long as it is disclosed by the seller I see no harm.

I prefer when the color of the hands match the color of the plots on the dial.
My 1680 for reference. Yes, the hands have been colored

I guess the hands are coloured? took a quick macro shot.

ADINVA · 29 April 2016, 01:27 PM

I am ok with relumed hands but not on the dial. As long as it is priced fairly, I think this is a great 1680.

BTW, I think it is very very common to see relumed hands.

mdw3 · 29 April 2016, 01:42 PM

Looks like some pretty significant damage to that dial there . . . .

Where though?

mdw3 · 29 April 2016, 01:48 PM

In the second loupe-magnified photo, all over. And verified in the smaller photo above, also. Between 8-9 markers, just down from 11 marker, near center post left, etc. Also losses to 7 luminous marker.

springer · 29 April 2016, 01:53 PM

The hands are aftermarket...starting with the sweep seconds hand that has no taper after the tritium ball. If the hands don't bother you, don't worry about it. If it does, get some genuine hands.
