1680 Red / Meter first
Hi guys and HNY to y'all !!!

On this new year I'm still looking for a red 1680 / Meter first / long five (if possible) in a great condition.

I'm searching since a while without success...if you see one around (EU if possible)...please be free to inform me.

Best.

Out of curiosity, do you have to pay import duty if buying from USA or Asia?

Yes. On no account should you ask the seller to list it for less than its full value. I've never found a seller who would be willing to do this as part of the deal.

Thought this thread could use a pic.

BTW - long 5 insert would not be period correct.

Congrats!
You confirm: a Mk1 from Singer, with closed "6", the “f” in “ft” curls above the “t”, the "Submariner” width matches the depth rating, and the red text stamped with a white intermediate layer onto the matt dial?
WONDERFUL
