That is a very nice watch. For the purists the replacement case will hit the value far more than the absence of original papers, but to my mind you have a watch that looks great and is able to perform as designed. I have a 1680 which has had everything replaced except the movement and case back and is a great looking watch and very practical to wear. Thanks for taking the time to prepare and post the video and for sharing your thoughts on this iconic watch. Look forward to your next video.
Just stumbled on this, didn't know you were a SD man! That is absolutely may grail, but gawd, ain't originality the difficulty?! Oh, and price!! That's stunner though.
Sure is but its nice to have all the paper work supporting it , Its the only time I purchased a watch as an investment as I'm hoping come 15 years or so it will double in valve , but I still wear it out once a month or so and had the back of the other day to inspect the movement and oil levels
Awesome watch and an awesome review. Do you prefer this one or the red sub? If you had to have one only, Out of the two which one would you choose and why?
