1680 gets a new top hat

My 1680 had a chipped crystal, but thanks to @Greekbum who found this NOS Tropic 127 she looks like new again

Love the look of it.; worths the $650.00 for that NOS crystal. NOS original TOP HATs are hard to come by.

Was able to find one for a bit less, but yes worth every penny. It looks amazing on the wrist! And yes, very hard to find.

Then you should service your watch here in Sweden, because that is what you get from RSC here. I do not know why RSCs in the USA put on that new style of crystal.
