1680 Evaluation
Hey guys, I'm looking to add this 1680 to my collection, but need your advice. From an up close inspection, it looks to be a very good condition Mark 1 dial from '77. Case has some light polish, but overall strong lugs and faint bevels still remain. Fat font insert appears original with aftermarket pip. Price is very good (below market value). Do any of you object? Sorry for the limited photos.

If it has papers and service history, I'd say go for it...

dial and chase looks good... bezel insert is a mid font (not correct for the 77, we find it on a late 80 5513 white gold ring)..maybe even the crown is non correct.. but overall it's nice.. if even the price is good go for it..
