New to me, 35 year old sub

I was actually looking for a 5513 but came across this all original 1680 white from 1979, complete set and took the plunge, loving it, any way here's some pics i'd like to share

very nice indeed - I picked up a 1978 1680 earlier this year. It's a fantastic watch

Very nice. Does that mean you got the complete set 1680 at a 5513 price?

No, budget creep l'm afraid :) having said that the 5513s that i could see were mostly not in this condition, so all in all very happy.
