Icon10 The boys at ABC have done it again
I just got my newly acquired (thanks stmoore) 1680 back from the "treatment" at ABC complete with their famous re-profiled T19. I couldn't be more pleased

Nathaniel that case looks great. Love the chamfers and fat crown guards, and the dial really pops with the superdome crystal. A very special watch my friend.

Thanks John, a special watch indeed. It is amazing what the crystal does to the look of the dial.

Those chamfers look great. I wish more people spent the time to figure out which shops are capable of properly polishing a case - there are far too many newish watches with horribly rounded cases.

Nathaniel, that red lettering is so vivid - it jumps off the dial and thru the domed crystal
You have a rare one my friend - a rare dial, stunning case, new 93150 - this is what it must of looked like when new.
Please dont wear it when changing the oil on a customers 318

Stunning. Just stunning. In my opinion, the red 1680 needs the T19. It completes the watch. The profile is beautiful and the uncluttered crystal really allows the dial to pop. The top hat and cyclops obstruct the beauty of the red lettering from coming through.

I love the chamfers of those lugs. This is like a window into the past and we are seeing it when it came fresh from the AD showcase.

Cherish this beauty!
