Quality check on a 1680 red

Hi guys!
Little update, I just spent 4hrs with my watchmaker while he serviced it (and cleaned it!!)
Fully original, untouched for 30yrs, I think ‘m in love

Looks fantastic. You made out well, mon ami. Hope that bracelet doesn’t fail on you. I’d send it to MY or put it on a 93150.

Thanks!
The bracelet is fine in the end, a little stretch but the endlinks was easily tightened.
The insert pearl was empty and filled with old matching tritium.
New top hat crystal
Thanks for the advices, I’m really happy I went for it!

Looks nice....and I like colour differences...age can do many things to dials and hands etc and I think these are what brings character to a watch. I know people seem to strive for perfection but I like a bit of imperfection here and there
