Hi guys! Just thought I’d post a wrist shot of my 1680 on a tropic in case anyone wants to get an idea of how it might look. I just got this one from Uncle Seiko for another watch, but I love the vintage’60s skindiver look it has on my Sub.

doramas · 30 April 2020, 04:38 AM

I love it. It looks great on you.

stevedssd · 30 April 2020, 05:16 AM

That does look very good

Woody · 30 April 2020, 04:56 PM

That is a great look - I think I may treat myself and follow your example. Thanks for posting.

harrymai86 · 30 April 2020, 05:24 PM

Beautiful red sub, tropic strap fits it well

bayareabuggs · 30 April 2020, 06:44 PM

thats probably the only rubber strap you could wear on a 1680, the rest would look ridiculous.

looks great

BigBlue1 · 1 May 2020, 01:03 AM

Looks like that strap was made for the wrong watch initially

Looks great

Styles Bitchley · 1 May 2020, 04:40 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys. I like the look for sure. I have to say though that the 1680 isn’t super comfortable on a two piece strap. Maybe it’s just mine? I’ve tried leather and now rubber and whenever I do the crown tends to dig into my hand when I flex it back. I don’t get this as much on a nato and a bracelet is the most comfortable of all.

Looks good on the tropic, but perhaps try a cordovan. They're very supple, but strong. I've been wearing my 1665 on one and it's very comfortable.

Walts · 1 May 2020, 09:14 AM

Wow you really hit a home run with that combo

Gorgeous. I’ve been thinking about getting a nice leather strap for a while.

RolexDave68 · 1 May 2020, 02:25 PM

Nice look on the 1680. I like the look on leather but I keep going back to the oyster. Enjoy the journey

This looks absolutely fantastic.

It matches the insert very well and looks really sporty! Great choice!

Stop doing push-ups with your watch on

Vincent65 · 1 May 2020, 09:17 PM

Proper combo.

Fair point, but swimming/diving with these expensive vintage Rolexes is risky!

I know. Anyway, that strap you're wearing is very nice.

bcenney · 9 July 2020, 02:23 AM

Synchron has reintroduced the Tropic Strap. They are $79.00. I put one on my 1680 pictured here. They are very nice.

Boaters · 9 July 2020, 03:04 AM

Very nice looking good.

But you can't get it wet and the Tropic can
