New to me 1680

Thanks to the forum for educating me. I picked this up today. The bezel is newer, but the patina is great.

Very nice, did you just pick that from a Tourneau store. I've been eyeing a very similar looking 1680 with the same patina. Congrats, as that one is a beauty.

See my previous 1680 post....

I got it from a local dealer. Tourneau is asking quite a premium, though expected I presume.

Very nice watch.

Wish I did what you did, but I am still reading old posts on this forum and trying to learn from them.

I can go along with Joffrey888 and congratulate you three times (does he post 3 times because he is 888?). Congratulations x3!

That's a very nice picture too. Or have I been away from these watch forums for so long that taking pictures of watches is no longer the challenge it used to be? Please don't say you took it with your phone!

Thanks for sharing.

VERY nice. the 1680 is such a great piece, wear and enjoy!

Question: Do the white 1680's have silver date dials or some silver and some white?

Mine is silver. I don't know about the others.
