Ended up buying it. This is my first vintage purchase and let me say this won't be my last!
Thanks to everyone who commented with their helpful tips. Without further ado here are some pics: rsz_5rs.jpg rsz_rs1.jpg |

Congrats and enjoy! |

I must say out of all the 'check this 1680 red' threads that have started here in recent years, that ended in disappointment or misrepresented or jumping the gun before advices etc :
OP you have bought a really nice honest example with a tasteful overhaul to the case and new crystal after asking here for advice first: this is as sucessful as it gets on HOW to buy your first vintage ! congrats

Thanks for all the lovely messages guys! I appreciate it.
Is it bad that I am already looking for my next vintage purchase? Mr Filipao has talked me into looking at SDs (even though I worry that my wrists are on the smaller size). I am leaning towards something with a tropical dial. Some more photos: |

Even the insert is a beauty! |
