Need opinion on this 1680 Red

It is 2.29M Red sub.
Caseback III.69
Is it a MK3 dial? Any issues?
Any help is much appreciated.

I always find it very tough to tell with these, but to me it looks like a mix of the Mk 2 and 3. Seems to have the red over white Sub lettering but the thicker fonts and short F. Not sure here as the serial is in the correct range. Guess it could be a redial, but wait for some experts to weigh in here.

Looks like a beauty. Nice color as well.

Seems to be a mk3 which is perfect for the serial. Case looks promising as well.
