I looked on ebay and there is a 1680 "red" sub dial for sale. It has an asking price of 3000usd"expensive"? It has open 6's. Is this the correct dial for this watch? Would it be fine if I put a white sub dial on the watch, as I found a couple of the white sub dials selling for about 500-800usd.
I would have been in a pickle if I had not known about this forum, as I would not have known why the listing was removed.
Thanks for all your help

Honestly, I would either ....

1) Leave it as is and let someone else make it right (red dial)

Or

2) Make it right yourself and then sell it. - But make sure you buy the vintage correct dial!

As you can see red dials are expensive but you would probably at least see that money back if you were to sell it with a good dial.

With vintage watches its all about the dial and hands.

Best of luck!

If you do buy a genuine red dial just be aware that some have the feet first and others the meters first. It depends upon the year of production, so make sure that you get one that matches the year/serial number of your watch to obtain the best price...

Yep, spot on Michael... also open vs. closed 6.

You don't want to make a mistake and get the wrong dial.

Go to doubleredseadweller.com for more info on red dials.
