Photos are what we come here for. This is the place to safely show our 1680's. I don't advertise on locally social media sites to prevent crimes of opportunity. I can share on this forum

Agree (granted, I have social media...). I was just mentioning you didn't ask for photos as you were sharing a photo of your 1680 (which we all love to see; fellow enthusiasts sharing pics of these little things we all love). For example, some people will explicitly say "show yours too!". It used to be a pet peeve of mine when folks would share their watch and then others jump in showing theirs and in some cases, it hijacks the thread...but as you said, it's all for fun and learning here and more pictures, the better!

As above, never on social media.

Rick, I have nothing against service dials. With one you get the best of both worlds.

Have one cousin Tudor Sub with a service dial/hands/insert, kept the pristine originals safe.

Nice Daniel!! I really appreciate this info and thank you!!

Not an expert but yes that is a Mk 3. Do you have any photo's of the back, it should have a number starting with 121
