I was just wondering... the red sub 1680 comes in 0 / a / b versions. Usually those letters and numbers indicates a sub-reference of the model, but what are the features of these variants? Is it known?

I'd love to have been able to post a picture of my Red Sub serial number 3.8 million but back in the day some prat swooped out the Red dial for a white one. :-(

I have a pumpkin sub that has kinda a marbling patina on the markers. Why is that bad????

"When evaluating patina, the main thing to look for is that markers have nice EVENLY coloured patina and that they do not have dark spots or streaks (marbling). Although the darker patinas (5+) can give a watch a really interesting look, the they tend to be more likely to have markers with discolouration problems."
