1680 whites are stunning. It seems that the hour plots are bigger than on 1680 reds, although I'm not sure. I miss this one that I owned for a couple of years.

Well following on from my post on page 1 where I said I was hoping to get one...

Here it is...picked it up only yesterday! One of the last of the line I guess 1979/1980 6.12 mil with VE bracelet.
Loving the creamy markers and the top hat.

Looking forward to playing with some Natos too.

Apologies for the snaps - quick iphone grabs but hopefully will do for now.

Here's my 78 1680 White which comes complete with box and punched papers. Soon going to get Rolex UK to change the bezel (metal part only) as it is looking a little worn down.
