Magnification looks way under 2.5x.

The magnification also surprised me. But it's not a long F or MK I dial...

Cyclops is history, looks gone to me. Band is a Rolex replacement. The dial looks original from the photos, but the pics aren't the best. I wouldn't buy it sight unseen.

Err buddy Aston...Orchi agrees with buddy Springer...
The case is heavily polished down... The movement is...err...screw*d... The bracelet isn't for the 1680 RED...originally. The crown doesn't look right... The case could be quite corroded... Case reference n serial # are not shown... The Pearl is missing... Orchi for one...wouldn't bother with it... |
