I just purchased this 1680 Sub from 1979 and I believe it's generally a pretty "honest" watch. Case has not been over-polished, crystal may be original (but starting to fog), bezel insert has been replaced. Mainly, I'm curious about the color relationship of the dial and hands. I'm guessing that the Mark I dial may have been washed at some point to remove old tritium residue. Consequently, the hands (which I also think are original) have become a dark tan and much darker that the dial plots. Suggestions?
