Many congrats. A 1680 red fullset is rare and such a beauty.

PS: 1st insert is ok, second is from of 80s, last is service.

Thank you! You are correct about the inserts. I believe #1 to be a MK3

This dial looks like a mk1, not a service dial.

I agree Paulie, and a stunning Mark 1 if I may say so!
I have had plenty of Red 1680's but the white Mark 1 seems to be the one that catches my eye the most

Chunky, lovely collection man, congratulations!

Thanks Zoran and Paulie for the clarification. I've had a better look at it and used information from this post by Stevedssd and it does indeed look like a Mk1.
