1680 damaged insert update :)
Remember this sad and sorry tale?
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=182133 Well, determined to create a positive out of a negative, I went on the hunt for a nice fat font insert - preferably with a creamy tritium pearl included - to ensure that my Sub felt suitably loved. Avoiding scammers, I managed to track one down over in France and agreed a good price with the dealer there. The result?     All in all, I'd say that's job done

Glad you found it and all is well. I know how frustrating that can be when something is damaged and you can't stop looking at it. Fortunately it didn't take long.

Congrats on the bezel insert. I'll be looking for both - the insert and the bezel.
