Hi,

I just came back from RSC. I am so glad to hear from the watch technician that everything is original. Also, the technician advice me to replace the acrylic crystal and it is under waterproof warranty. (Sorry for the poor photo)

My 1680 with new acrylic crystal replaced

Feet first with SUBMARINER over--78-89

The gloss dial with WG surrounds from about 84 or so till the end of the run.

Nice overview!

Sorry Fai, all I'm getting are the dreaded 'little red X's' (can't see your pics

) but if Mike says the dial is fantastic then rest assured youv'e gotten a good one

Hi...anyone can help?
I have NO problem at home, but I face the same problem while at work.

My newly acquired 5513.

I've been looking for a real nice one for quite some time and gave up looking for awhile.
Then this one shows up and after consulting with Mike I am the new owner.

Mike, thanks again

fai,
I too can't see your pics due to the "red x's"

Well...let me re-post the pictures again. Hopefully this round you guys can view it. If not, allowed me to try again...

Yes, got to say thanks to Mike again. With his input then I am a owner of 1680
