The perfect Sub... ?
No but it's pretty close to perfect if you consider this one being 35 years ;)

Love the insert, not the normal shade of blue either, very unique. Some very nice photography skills too, you've really caught the sharpness of the angles from the bezel to the lugs to the crown.

No arguement from me. The 1680 is such an icon.

That watch looks great. The distressed insert looks fantastic. Of all my watches, my 2 favorites are Subs with faded inserts. Hard to beat that iconic look.
