Customising my 1680 Red

Long story short, I've always liked the red Yachtmaster second hand, and I think it makes a great match with the red text on the 1680. So when my 1680 needed a fettle recently, I got my watchmaker to fit one!

I'm delighted.

I personally wouldn't alter my red, but it looks good. Beautiful watch! If you like it, and are happy....that's all that matters!

I really like the look !!!
The important thing with this kind of mod is to keep all original parts. Like that if one day you decide to sell you can offer both look to the potential buyer.

Looks like April Fool's BS - that hand looks silver to me.
