The red Subs were depicted in the owner's booklet until the 1680 was discontinued in 1980, so the ad with a red Sub doesn't prove they were being manufactured as late as that ad.

David, the watch you sent has Meters first, Ft second dial. Earlier mark

X2. Metres first dial on a 5.7m serial is not original. Sorry. I’m sure this happened a lot back in the day when there was a problem and watchmakers had stashes if dials and other parts hanging around the bench. There was nothing special about a red dial back then.

That meters first dial is not original to the watch but worth a good bit more money than that other franken mark 4 dial....essentially both are incorrect watches but the dials are worth some money...especially the meters first...but there’s no way in hell either of those watches were originally equipped with those dials
