My 1680

A few years ago I acquired a Rolex 5513. Loved it and let it go. Really the only watch I regret having flipped. More recently, I scooped up this 1680 and I'm back in love all over again. This time I won't let it get away.

Congrats on a nice 1680...a timeless classic that is always in style. I wish I kept the first one I owned.

Love your 1680. I love the way the top hat sits tall. A classic that refers to the past but speaks of the 70s and also looks amazingly modern.
