The crystal on the 1680 is unique.

Gives the watch such a distinctive look.

Beautiful classic watch, Aadil. Wear it in good health and enjoy.

Like you I love the 1680. I had mine refurbished by Rolex last September. I took the replacement bezel off yesterday to have a look and it is of solid construction with a rubber O Ring underneath it in lieu of the usual metal shim!

I guess it's kosher as Rolex did it!

Behind the scenes it's very different from the original bezel!

Fantastic pictures Aadil of a proper Rolex with a proper maxi dial. A great looking watch that will go on another 50 odd years.

And I do believe that the acrylic crystal some how screw locks into the case.Only a very few watch manufactures use this system hence o-ring under bezel.
