Red 1680

[Swearengen]

Just picked this one up today. Must say I am very pleased with it, although it’s going to be a mini project to complete; in the market for a top hat crystal and tritium pearl insert. The case seems reasonably fat and the dial in good shape. I believe it’s a mk IV. The hands match the dial better than in the photo the seller had.

Its on a 93150 bracelet while not technically correct is practical for a watch which is going to get some wrist time.

The seller (bless him) also pulled out an EXPLORER II 1655 'Orange Hand' Steve McQueen, thankfully willpower and diminished bank balance prevented further interest on my part!

May I quickly thank Diamond Jack for some background advice he was kind enough to provide prior to the acquisition of this piece.
