Incoming 1680 red MK IV (full set)

Hello guys!!
Thought it was time I made a post for one of my most exciting incomings to date.
Some of you may remember that I purchased a 1680 red a few months ago, but I had returned it back for some reasons.

Needless to say, it lead me to get back into the market, which is when I stumbled across this gorgeous full set double punched MK IV from a member and dear friend on this forum.
Watch was purchased by him from Jed over 5 years ago (who purchased it from the original owner), making me the third owner of this watch.
It also comes with a correct dated US C&I Rivet bracelet, as the watch was sold in the US.

I will let some pictures speak for me.
The watch has clearly seen wear over the years, but it is just perfect for me.
I could not be happier with this watch, and I truly feel lucky to have the opportunity to add this watch to my collection.

Thanks for looking all!

Thank you gents!
I am over the moon with this purchase.
I am usually a dome guy, and intended to throw a T19 on this, but she is just so perfect as is, I simply cannot change a thing about this watch!

Haha fine you caught me!
Just a pic taken by Jed when it was up for sale, was not in the sale. Everything else pictured did come with the watch
