Awesome...just like mine! It's still a valuable asset on your wrist. Not often we get to wear a 1977 production Sub that is very stunning even today!

Great choice, 1680 great watch.

Could someone with a greater knowledge than me elaborate on what to look for on the coronet ?

This thread is the best guide I have found on 1680 white dials. Should be obvious after reading that.

1680

I really like the creamy patina of the service dial....that is what sold me...I also have the inner/outer boxes, COSC certification hang tag and brochures that came with the watch. In addition I got a smoking deal....
