Hello fellow enthusiasts. I have finally had the time to take some decent pics of an old friend of mine. This is my 69 1680 red. TO my knowledge, it is all original with the exception of the 82 bezel insert I had to install when I lost the original. My question, is whether this is a MK1 or MK2 dial? I'v always been a little confused about this. Also curious about the groups opinion on the condition of the lume. I have had others from this period and earlier where the tritium was starting to crack, which always worried me. To me, this one seems pretty tight and uniformly coloured throughout.

Anyhow, always love the feedback from the grow, appreciate your expertise.

Looks like a MK1 to me.I would get the correct insert for the Watch,It will be the Icing on the Cake.The Bracelet has also been updated to a 93150 which is fairly common but not correct.

Yes mark I....looks nice.
I didn't realise there were closed 6's on the date wheel on mark I's ?
My mark II has open 6's

A ghost insert would set it off nicely
