Sibling Rivalry
My brother just got this great looking 1680, I thought I would take some more pics of it. I have to admit I'm pretty jealous too!
Love that distortion, which is why I want a tropic 38 on my GMT! Looks great on me too... I have to find a way to top his 1680, I'm thinking a nice 5513 with patina and an unpolished case. Maybe I'll steal it and wear it when he's not here. |

Very nice, I really like the patina on that one. Nice
Looks pretty good on the Jubilee as well.

It's very cool that you can share this stuff with a brother. Very nice Sub. Isn't your "new" GMT getting old now? Time to look for #5?

Very nice 1680. Your brother is fortunate to have such a gifted photographer in the family!
Those are two very nice vintage examples! |

Wow. What a beautiful Submariner! On a Super Jubilee? Cool stuff. Gorgeous pictures as usual! If I owned a 1680 it would never come off my wrist!

Wow, Kyle. That is a stunner white 1680.
I'm jealous. Would love to find a piece like that. I just love the patina on that thing. If I were you, I would be borrowing it all the time, lol. Jeff |

Hello Kyle, my young friend!
Congrats to you and your brother Matt for this most handsome 1680. By the way, it´s the first time I see a Sub with Jubilee, and they are very nice! Your photos are awesome as usual, and add to the enjoyment of looking at these watches. I like very much your GMT with leather straps. Most elegant piece! Enjoy your watches young men! And keep increasing your collection! Best cordial regards, Abel.
