Both are lovely. To be honest I’m partial to the white text.

OP, congrats on a fantastic 1680!
The white, second iteration of the Submariner Date is a true classic, one of the best references. Mine is recent, but oh so nice, |

Another too good to be true. Edit: Maybe the OP can show us engravings? Last edited by Filipćo; 13 November 2022 at 08:58 AM.. Reason: missing info |

Not an expert, but the backside looks a bit odd to me. The graininess of the steel and the strange angle of the crown guard opening. My own -78 1680 is at my bank, I'm just comparing it to Filipćos now.
I am not calling it anything here, this was just an observation. |

Just to fuel this thread, my white 1680 is a MK2 serial #5.836.XXX.
Below its engravings, though a bit dirty. Reposting one pic from my case - top of crown guards. |
