I found this beautiful watch on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-two-ton...#ht_1946wt_891

The listing claims it is 100% genuine, but I thought there was no such thing as a two-tone 1680. Am I wrong? Is this watch legit or a franken?

Hope this helps this is a cut and paste. The 1680 marked the philosophical transition of the Submariner from a pure "tool watch" built for serious divers to also being built and sold as a luxury sports watch. I say this, because the 1680 was the first reference to be sold in a steel and gold version ("two-tone" or "bi-metal") and also in an 18 carat gold model.

Sorry...that site is wrong and has been referenced here before. There was no TT 1680. It was produced as a stainless steel or a solid gold model only.

The listing is very sparse, no details and the listing is also showing a counterfeit band and counterfeit hang tag. It will be removed.

Maybe it was a typo and they meant 16803?

Such typo is always possible , but what about the counterfeit bracelet and hangtag ?

i must say i was suprised by this info when i did a search, i had never seen a two tone, i thought also it was the first submarineer in solid gold, has some contacted the site holder. however i thought the site looked pretty legit and informative.
