Can't go past the subs!
They certainly have me hooked and after some (lots of) time looking around I managed to grab this 5.0 million serial 1680 with 10 month old RSC service papers. First sub with a date (what will they think of next!) Arrived yesterday and in great shape so currently over the moon.

Nice 1680.

Very nice lugs and crown guards.

Seems like most examples have been over polished, but not yours.
