Hi All,

Thought i could request some experts to give input on this watch:

(Hopefully images come through)

Certainly not without any faults, but any glaring red flags?

Thanks!

Very poor lighting and picture quality. Can't tell if half the lume pots are cream and the other are white or if it's just catching light at a bad angle.

need better pics but to begin with:

1) alot of serviced parts including hands, crown and bezel insert
2) have a good check of the hands, the seconds hand doesn't look right so not sure if the hour / min are - I think those look okay - luminova hands
3) worth checking the MK of the dial

Otherwise case looks okay - doesnt seem overpolished.

also check that black staining on the 1 and 2 hour marker it's neither desirable or attractive. Mk2 Dail

Thanks all,

From the seller:

-New Acrylic Crystal installed in 2021 (has receipts)
-Cyclops has scratches
-Scratch on 9 'oclock lume marker and dial from a previous service
-Service second hand
-Portion of minute hand has been re-lumed
-1 Oclock marker has spot


I understand that if sent to RSC, all patinad parts will get swapped. However, just for my knowledge, Will RSC even service 1680s anymore? If they do service them, would there be a LumiNova dial without WG surrounds installed?

I will save you a ton of trouble. If this is a watch your after you can find what you want in better condition.
