Pls excuse my ignorance but how do you distinguish between 1680 and 16800 from pics like this? Don't you need to see case back or movement? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

1680 and 16800s are easily distinguishable. They have different crystals, acrylic vs sapphire, different dials and different bezel inserts.

For completeness they also have different movements, 1680 has the 1570 which is 6 bps and non quick set date and the 16800 has a 3035 high beat (8 bps) movement with quick set date. The 16800 is a great all round watch, perfect for everyday and with the matt dial gives a nod to the subs vintage past

These are really informative responses. Thanks. Can someone elaborate on the difference between the inserts?

Simply put: look at the dial, if it says 300m it's a 16800 - if it says 200m it's a 1680
