It’s back .......

About 5 weeks ago my 1680 stopped working

Just arrived back this morning

Fully serviced & working. Swithered on RSC or trusted independent but went for the later. To many horror stories on RSC. Discussed up front what I wanted - non cosmetic service (not eve a light polish) movement only service & what I didn’t want replaced

Watch back this morning & very pleased to have it strapped to my wrist again (feels even better than buying a new watch getting an old favourite back)

its a beauty! did you end up going with the RSC then? I can say similar things regarding the horror stories, its a lot like a hair cut, as long as you're upfront and clear about the things you want and don't want its usually a good experience. Not nearly as bad as people say IMO

That looks great on your wrist. Beautiful cream color. I’m glad it all went as planned.

Hello OP, outstanding 1680!

Would your indy be willing to overhaul mine on the condition I am to supply the 25-127 plexi?

Thank you and congrats!

Thats a Beauty!! I'm debating of what to do myself. I have an F serial 16710 thats never been serviced. It keeps great time but the power reserve is not
to specs. I need to time it again though I forgot. I believe it should be 40 hours.
