I haven’t posted in a while either. Here’s the 1680 I restored. Thread around here somewhere... Still looks presentable.

There is that. But still, I do enjoy the opportunity to see other brands and can see why those with non-Rolex watches would be posting here. Perhaps a better title instead of the more granular directions only being included in the original post, which I did read… Who knew this thing would have legs! My contribution for the day.
