1680/8 thread

Do we have one?

I have seen a few post but nothing dedicated..


Here's mine..

Before

Always like the dome effect on the 1665..
Nothing wrong with T127, but just prefer the dome..



After the change

Although it does not look good on me, I always loved the look of the gold/black 1680.

I guess (Lotto permitting) I'd get one for the watch box just to look at...

Black and Gold is pure class. I'm a big fan of blue dials too, don't get me wrong, I just love this reference in black dial. Looking forward to seeing more photos!

You guys are killing me! I so badly want a black dial 1680/8, but I have a feeling that these will be out of my reach in the not too distant future.

Guys, please! I'm out of breath here!

Did you put the tropic 38 crystal on or just sand off the cyclops?

What would it take to get you to send that ugly black one off to me Juergen?

Thank you.... :thumbs:

It´s a tropic 19 super domed (first of my 2 pics). In my opinion the best choice for a 1680/8.

Nick and Michael, gorgeous watches. I love it when gold takes on a patina.

Hey Jeff, hands off my watch. Ha,ha. Lol.(Joking)

It's not going anywhere. Although I have only worn it twice in the the five months I've owned it.

This thread makes me want to go and strap it on the wrist.
