Snow White Sub - new crystal pics

Thanks to Steve Mulholland for the crystal, Bob at Central Watch Co (5 S. Wabash Chicago, IL) for putting on the new acrylic and servicing the watch, and Adam (Adam78) for the tips! now on to the pics...


Snowed in, help me dig it out?



nothing like a brand new crystal



tophat








Thanks also to everyone on the forum for helping me research these great old subs. It may not be a museum quality example but it keeps excellent time, it fit my budget, and it looks & feels great on the wrist.

Thanks!
Clay

Clay where were you when we had the photo contest for 2011? With pics like that you would have given the winner a run for the money. Great pics and a great watch.

Thanks everyone! I'm really enjoying it, just took it to Shedd Aquarium today, I could sense it wanted to dive the icy depths with the belugas.

Now to the hunt for a 1675 or 16750... I'm really happy with the 1680, but you know the search is half the fun!

Cheers!
Clay

Agreed. Awesome photography and a not so camera shy subject. The watch is breathtaking!
