Quickset on 1680?

This 1680 on Ebay says it has the quickset movement. I thought that feature wasn't in place until the 16800.

Clay is right. 1570/5 movement was never quickset. They also say if has a sapphire crystal and it doesn't/should not....

Thanks for the confirmation guys. I'm trying to build my knowledge of the 1680 and 5513 before I eventually buy one or maybe both someday. No way I'd take a chance on Ebay but find it fun to look.

When you look at it, It has plastic crystal ? Doubt it's really quickset also

I have seen "quickset" confused with "quick change date" in ads before. Might be worth asking questions to see how exactly it behaves when you set the time.
