I've been in a rut the last year or so switching between a 1603 and a 16570. Love those two but it's getting a little boring so I stuck my hand into the bag of little green pouches and this came out.

It's a 1968 TT 1625 that I got, freshly serviced, in 2014. It was a bargain because at an RSC service in 2006 it got a new factory mid-case. In years past a service case has been a negative but how many more brand new 1625 cases exist? The idea of a brand new 1968 watch was alluring, an actual unpolished DJ! :)

Anyway, it is a beautiful example.

Richard,
Where do you get your TT endlinks? I'd love to get a pair for my 1625

Beautiful 1625! I got them from GeorgeYeo on ebay, I think he posts here as Smarty Jones. His are high quality with 18k plating. I saw a pair on ebay now that are not the quality of George's and not real gold either, be careful.

All look fab.

I am looking for a tt silver face with papers - will be a long search I think.

Gorgeous 1625s guys, congrats.
I’ve seen 6609s but they are grossly overpriced.

My grail is 6202.
