I think I've used that brand before myself (when the need arose).

The watch next to it is a nice touch!

$5600 for fake red dial 1680
$200 shipping for authentication
$135 shipping to attempt to return to seller (he refused to take it back)
$225 for an authentic white dial
$385 for service & install correct white dial
-$1250 Paypal yanks this amount from sellers paypal act and sends to me :) (Still trying to get more)
So let's see... that's:

$5295 for a plain jane serviced white-submainer 1680 :)

NOW that is probably the most expensive 1680 in this here forum..... and well..... it's not really something to brag about :)
Man I feel for you, well at least you got a bit of cash back,and now a 100% genuine 1680.Not a Red I know but a genuine white,hope you recover a bit more cash,but still a fine vintage Rolex.

Yeah, that brand doesn't coagulate when you serve it up steaming hot!

The watch is a happy coincidence. I was browsing Google image search for "whup ass" for another thread ages ago and this pic turned up.
