Mark V 1680 (around 5,0XXXXX time period 79, please confirm )
The insert is an MK fat font but seems that it has been added to it, the tritium lume doesn't match the patina of the dial. Case seems that it has been polish, when look at the miror finish of the lug holes. Crown is a nice 24-702-0 tall coronet which is correct.. Over than the insert replaced by another one (which is correct also for the time period) and besides the polished lugs, there is nothing to say about it |

Pricewise seems ok, but I haven't decided to pull trigger because I may want to find a better piece even at a slight premium...any offers to sell? |

Yes because the insert is clearly a genuine and original one (mk3 fat font insert, which is also my favorite) so the pearl isn't a big issue actually .. For the rest IMO it looks quiet good, and from what I can see it doesn't seem over polished, but the lugs has this mirror finish which let me guess that I has been polished recently for the sale. Concerning the price range, I think it is a fair price (if the 93150/580 bracelet is of course included with the watch) if not I would pass on it because there is plenty of 1680 in this price range .. And I am sure you can find one with a nice matching patina hands/dial/pearl with its original 93150/580 bracelet Hope this helps |
