Red? Help

hey all,

i have an opportunity to get a 2.3mil 1680. the case and everything is in VG condition. the question i have is....it was serviced back in the day. the red dial was replaced with a white one. I know...wipe your tears.

it comes with the rolex service papers from a recent visit. say i grabbed it for under 5. think it's worth picking up and then finding a red dial for it?

Depends on the condition, does it also include a bracelet?

Under 5K would be a good deal.

Just be patient when looking for the right dial, and enjoy your white in the meantime.
