Wow the crystal made a HUGE difference!
Did you get a service T127 or sourced a NOS? - Any idea how much a NOS cost these days?
Matching hands also makes the dial more even! Good job man.

I like that greyish insert too.

I found a 127 in the original wrapper. Pretty sweet find.

Very nice 1680 (I didn't see your prior thread, so haven't checked what it looked like before). Interesting to see one on a Jubilee, but I prefer an Oyster bracelet...

The new plexi and matching hands make all the difference!

I just upgraded mine today as well!

The right crystal makes the watch, even when the dial is wrong... (in my case)

I found an NOS 127 a while back; installed today:
