1680 Sub in White

I just wanted to post a photo of this 1977 production 1680 that I've had for about a year and a half of daily wear. It is a serviced watch as you can see from the photo. It has been a very enjoyable piece to wear and I can say it also is my best. Thank you for looking and all comments are welcomed.

If memory serves me right.....about 528 there abouts. I'll have to check the appraisal sheet.

Edited .....Yes, it's 528####

This watch has lived a life as a tool watch and hasn't ever been a safe queen. I happily wear it 24/7 in all of my activities except it does come off when wrenching on my Corvettes. It's been polished, abused, scratched up, polished some more, but it's always been a tuff and beautiful watch to wear. Nothing compares.
