Incoming - Birth Year Rolex
Finally able to get my hands on a birth year Rolex in great shape.
Thanks to all the info on this forum I was able to do my homework to find a 1977 1680. MK1 Dial, nice even patina, top hat crystal, unpolished case with chamfers, silver date wheel, etc. Jacek at HQ Milton was a pleasure to deal with! Here with it's 'big brother'

Thanks all.
Find myself looking at all the 4 digit references now. I do appreciate the modern SD43 though, happen to buy both of these in the same week.

Thanks.
1977 was a good year. Unfortunately, every year we get older, and these get more expensive so now was a good time.

Great looking 1680 Steve! Congratulations!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from your pictures it doesn't look like a MK1 dial... From the pictures it looks like a MK3
