mmmmm that is difficult to tell.

But the packaging looks original and the seller has good feedback, at least those are positive indications.

It is a TT bezel so it would not be suitable for a 1680 unless it was a TT watch i.e. gold/stainless.

Good Luck

Steve, good advice. Check out the pearl, from the pics, I'm not liking that pearl shape much. Could be the pics though.
