1680,

The best way is to try and contact him through the website:

This was discussed elsewhere a few years ago:

He also posts on IG, I don't know if he engages in conversations there or not.

And he said, Oh I'm fed up, I can't sell these 4 x 1665 grrrr!!!, I've had them for 4 years....I, spotting his slightly exhultant incandescence, offered a cheaky 2 for 1 and he agreed - kept one and gave one to my pal....1655 were not selling at all back them - now they are super sought after
The old stock dial thing is more than likely, however I had a 1979 ish serial number 1655 that also had a Frog Foot dial back in the day, before they were mental money, which makes me wonder if it was a typical Rolex stock issue.
Old stock dials, fit them anyway.

Mark.

my old watch after Rolex service (Inc new bezel).
