I'm trying out a new feature on my blog where I look at a few items on the market, all the same model watch, and see what's worth buying.

Let me know what you think about my 1680 Red search:

Thanks!

Awesome writeup!

Very useful/ insightful especially since I'm currently in the hunt for a red sub or maybe even a DRSD...

sennheiserz · 5 June 2014, 04:37 AM

Thanks! The DRSD would make for an interesting search as the prices are pretty variable.

Great write up on these pieces; I concur with the scores you awarded.

Don't forget the value of a nice pearl in the insert; if it's missing it's going to be another $150-200 to source and replace.

PS: No, it's not for sale!

What I miss in your analysis is the fact that #1 has kind of goose bumps on the dial. Not a good sign imho. I agree with you on the rest.

Great article

Although the last one at least has a not so bad rivet bracelet with a twinlock crown. Still no go for me.

I made a duplicate post please remove this

sennheiserz · 5 June 2014, 08:15 AM

Sure, how do I do that? And where is the duplicate?

Oh I made two identical posts on this thread by mistake and edited the second one to "I made a duplicate post please remove this" so moderators can delete it. I'm sorry for causing confusion.

sennheiserz · 5 June 2014, 08:20 AM

No worries, is it okay that I occasionally link to a blog article I write? The blog has no ads and is a personal non-profit project.
