Looks like the one up on 10 past ten. Obviously Eric is a trustworthy guy and you get what you pay for. From the website pictures looks like theres some spotting discoloration to the lume plots though. Beyond that the case is good and the remainder of the dial looks unblemished. Not sure if the pip has been replaced, looks pretty white but again, Eric is a good guy and I'd trust him. Obviously you're paying dealer prices with him too so up to your willingness to do so.

I share in the opinion of ahentel. The watch looks great for its age and you cannot go wrong with Eric Ku.

One more question. Does it appear to be the correct bezel insert for a 1970 Red Sub......Thanks Jimmy

Erik Ku is one of the good guys and I read some where the most trusted vintage dealer ever ,

What I know is he is a genuinely great guy who willingly shares his vast knowledge ,you can ask him any questions and he will answer them honestly , no need to come here buy safe in the knowledge you are buying from one of the best . my 2 cents

Here is a pic of mine http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=495238 fwiw this came with box and papers full set from 1/69 , I gave $22500 for it around two years ago hope this helps ,

Service insert, mid 80's I think.

Excellent 1680 from an exceptional seller. Only issue, if I were to be extremely picky, is the service replacement insert.

If you purchase this from Eric Ku you can also ask him about a period correct insert and one with a pearl to match the rest of the even patina
