I was checking this thread to see if I had ever posted my 1680 on it, and I had, back in 2015. Since that time, I quit wearing it for a time, as it needed thorough servicing. I had that performed by Philip and Bob Ridley in 2019, and it looked so pristine that I locked it away so as not to spoil it.

Recently, I’ve brought it out in the light again and wear it daily, taking care not to roughhouse it. I am the original owner, having received it as a gift for my high school graduation in 1974. It was my daily wear everywhere until I set it aside for servicing in 2015. It’s a Mark II dial, serial 2.229xxx. Originally it was fit
with a standard Oyster bracelet which I replaced with a 93150 back in 1981.

I also have a newer serial 1680 Red which belonged to my father.

Thanks for bringing it back out! What a great story behind the watch and your dad's. If you graduated in 1974, how cool that you ended up with an earlier MF Mark2 dial. Did you keep your original box and papers with the watch?
