Incoming - Good things come in 3's (1675, 16030, 1603)

My shopping got a bit out of hand over the last couple weeks and have three watches on the way. 1675 Mark 2, 16030 Roman Numeral Dial, and a 1603. I am looking forward to receiving these Wednesday and wanted to post a couple pictures for the forum members. I have been looking over the last year and finally could not say no any longer and pulled the trigger when these were available.

A big thank you to John (Springer) for helping answer questions and responding to my inquiries when I reached out to him regarding sourcing a 1675. After a number of conversations and discussions it turned into a 1675 and 16030 combination. John has been great to work with and outstanding for follow up and communication throughout. I am thrilled to have been able to find both of these with John.

The 1603 is from another forum member Mark (Charlies 3755). Mark has also been great to work with throughout and I will enjoy you passing this one on as well.

The network of forum members and contribution of those that contribute their knowledge is very appreciated and I hope to enjoy these for a while.

Pictures also compliments of John and Mark.
