I would say yes if you want a truly natural purple dialed YG Sub with a nipple dial.

Of course you’ll find 16808’s with coloring close to the 1680 - but normal plots.

Well played sir... As I posted on your other thread, this purple Sub "What your money can't buy...", something to the effect of "WOW" said in almost a whisper but with emphasis and depth.

Nice photo too BTW. The plots and text elements look like they're floating.

Now I've seen everything. Shut down the forum. We have a winner. I didn't know such a watch existed. I envy you.
