1680 dial?

Hi All,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated on this 1680
Serial No 295**** relates to 1970 I think. In which case should I think it should be a red sub. What dial is this and is it genuine?
What a minefield!
Fell in love with the blue / purple faded bezel!

Thanks,
Jeff.

That is not a 1680 Mk1, 2, or 3.
It is also not a service dial that I recognize.
Odd to see a 1680 white dial with the Submariner text shorter in length than the depth rating below.

Thank you Beaumont Miller II,
I don't what it is. Worried that it could be a fake dial?

No problem.
If you're going to plop down 5k pounds, you might as well buy from a reputable seller.

Jacek from HQMilton is where I got mine.
Great service and 100% reliable.
