You guys are awesome! Thanks for the kind words. I have collected for a long time, but this is my first real collector piece. I am still in the I can't believe it phase. She fits like a glove on the 7206. You know you got it bad when you get the original bracelet for a watch and have MY restore it before you even have the watch...I feel very blessed today.

While on a phone call, I captured this dial macro.

I live my 1680. All those white letters, creamy plots, and oxidized hands. Just the way it should be love it!
