Biting my nails cuz I can't wait

Since I've now been fully bitten by the bug they call Rolex. I've now got another incoming.

This one is going to be sweet. I already have a 16610, but she misses her cousin. By this time tomorrow I'll be sporting a vintage 1680. I have to thank this forum as well as Jakes Rolex World for posting some very sweet pics of some 1680s. I can't stop!!!

well she arrived today and i gotta say, it's way more comfortable than my 16610. maybe it's just the euphoria of a new watch, who knows. but I like it.

here's a couple quick iphone pics.

Gorgeous duo I must say. But then, I have a weakness for Subs.
Nice. Very nice!

Congrat for a nice piece. Vintage has its irresistible appeals.

Nice pair. And I have to agree with you that the 1680 is more comfortable. Mostly it´s due to the flat caseback that makes it hug the wrist.
