1972 Rolex 1680, twinlock or triplock ?
Just curious, as I was not able to get a definate answer.
Would my 1680 from 1972, (caseback 1972 IV, serial 330xxx), have come with a twinlock or the upgraded triplock on it when it was new? If anyone knows, please chime in. Cheers.

in 72, early intro of the 702 triplock did not have a visible O-ring design on the tube like later tubes. |

I guess that would mean that it would have had the triplock green tag included with all the other normal epherma?

Thanks my friend. If you are missing just the triplock hang tag, I have seen them come up from time to time. Not cheap tho, last one I saw sold for around 500 bucks.. They are rare but just insane a piece of plastic sells for that much.
