1680
Here are a couple of my favorite shots.
It was serviced by RSC about a year ago and has original dial/hands. Last edited by Welshwatchman; 19 April 2011 at 04:34 AM.. |

Not even a close call. It's just a watch and you need to build your future. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage and new home!

Damned priorities But , you can always buy one of these once you have finished with the house .. You can't live in one of these cases .. not even a super case either

Watches come and go, I know it's hard with the thought of selling but a house and your future is more important

If you have to move a few pieces, what are the others?
That 5512 looks nice, I would try and keep it as long as I could, and maybe move the others. Price point? $5500 usd I'm thinking. |

You can always buy an other watch ..... your first house with the woman you love is way more important.

x2 on that. A white 1680 is still an awesome piece and I'd like to have one myself.
As a newcomer to this hobby, it is nice to hear a voice of reason from the veterans. I think more of all of you for giving sound financial advice and appropriate prioritization of needs versus wants. Thanks guys! |
