Glad you found one Paul......and it looks to be a real beauty........
In relation to the so called Mark VIII luminova Red Sub dial......this is a great shot from DoubleRedSeadweller ....... The main difference apart from the lume is the wider Submariner wording - similar to the White Sub 1680. Most of the ones I've seen are like Subking's which have SWISS at 6 O'clock......this one has the old Tritium wording for some reason |

If its gonna stay in the family I would try to restore the dial and this sad story would be part of the history of the watch.
For future value you can then surch for a correct dial without stress. Good Luck! |

Glad to hear this is likely to have a good ending - makes me think about my own 1680 though - have taken it into the pool a few times in the past but might not from herein! Probably best as a 'dry land' watch!

Thanks for all the kind words, help and advice, it has proved invaluable. The whole process cost me in the region of a used 16610. So my advice would be to get a 16610 as the beater and keep the vintage out of harms way.
