1680 (white) with matte service dial and hands

I've seen a 1680 with matte service dial and hands and bezel. All match and the lume is stunning. Case good and bracelet is also service replacement. Basically a vintage reference with modern touch and you can actually use it am tell the time in the dark (if you need to!)
In the collecting world sacrilege, in the real world????????
Unfortunately no pictures.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

There are not usually that many White 1680's for sale in the UK, if that's where you are looking. Personally I quite like the look of the service dial and hands but as previously said it depends on the price. The UK price of original dial/hands Whites seem to be £10k plus now, if it's the one for just under £7k that seems about right price

PS forgot to mention there is another UK member who has an awesome 1680 White with service replacement dial, hands, insert AND a replacement case. It may not be a vintage in the true sense but it is lovely and very practical......hopefully he will see this and post some pics
