Wow David, that's quite a watch you have there.

Excellent closed 6 specimen. I love the patina.

Would love to own one some day as well.

Enjoy her, buddy.

Again..thanx all....I´m a happy camper and can´t take my eyes of the 1680.
Next I´m going to look for a faded insert with fatter font to match with.

Cheers

David
