Truly a beautiful watch!

Trying to get approx value
Hello, new to the forum. Recently inherited 2 Rolex's due to a death in the family. I'm trying to find information on both watches and an approximate value as well. The Tiffany watch I'm having a particularly hard time finding one like it. Any insight is appreciated.

Here is my 1680 purchased in 1977 new. Went through 5 years of fire fighting with the U.S. Forest Service. It's been serviced by the RSC twice in its life time. Had Rolex service parts installed as I still used the watch as a tool watch. As I have aged I have you guys to thank for wanting to return the watch to as close to original condition as possible.
Its a 3912xxx serial numbered watch, so right around the time of red to white transition. It was a white 1680 when I bought it new from my AD. MK1 dial and Rolex luminova
service hands that were relumed with dead tritium and tinted to match by Phillip Ridley. It isnt perfect but I love the watch and will never sell it.

Start a new thread in the vintage Rolex section. You will get some responses then.
