Ben, that one has so much patina, I'm not sure it can be classified as a "white" 1680. ABSOLUTELY fantastic watch

Thanks for sharing.....here's mine

Please keep his thread going!! These watches are simply stunning.

In the next month or two I hope to start looking for a white 1680. The one above on the 'Bond' NATO (Navy/Olive/Red) is stunning. Exactly what I'm after.
Love that light cream patina.

So yes, plenty of love for a white.

Cheers
SS

Ben I love the crazy patina on your 5513. It is only matched by your 1680...both look great. I am a HUGE fan of the white. Will try to post mine later.
