Remember this is for 1680 whites too! Seems this thread has a very high proportion of near perfect watches. Good job guys

Oh man, that Sea Dweller is perfect in every way! Beautiful! I'm sorry it didn't work out between you two.

I'd never consider the 1665 is underrated, in fact it is a grail of mine.....

Love it! My silver date disk (original, I was told) does not have an open 26 for some reason, so I will have to wait until next month for some open-six love. Looking forward to the 29th to see if the 9 is open...

My MK 1 is closed.
My Rail is closed.
My MK 4 is open.

All silver and original. I can tell you the MK 4 great white with the open 6 is more interesting - more serif like in font.
