I've been wearing the 1680 exclusively for two weeks.

With my smaller sized wrists I've realized that my other subs ( 16800's) are simply too large for me. I've read that the dial on the 1680 is slightly smaller, and the watch is definitely lighter than the transitional sub.

Has anyone else experienced this smaller watch syndrome....?

Vincent65 · 6 October 2012, 02:37 AM

I LOVE my 1680 - perfect in every way!

Jason71 · 6 October 2012, 02:48 AM

I believe the 1680 to be the perfect Sub. I love all of mine. Glad you have seen the light

Frogman4me · 6 October 2012, 02:53 AM

I agree the vintage sub size is the perfect size!

adam78 · 6 October 2012, 05:26 AM

I think the 1680 is pretty much the same size as the 16800 and later Subs (until very recently). Correct me if I'm wrong!

dsio · 6 October 2012, 05:30 AM

1680 is circa 39mm IIRC, its like a hair smaller

drockadam · 6 October 2012, 06:55 AM

1680's are great!

sfglenrock · 6 October 2012, 01:59 PM

I've gotta agree...perfect!

Keep the photos coming- 1680

dsio · 6 October 2012, 07:47 PM

The 1680 with its equal and opposite, the perfect chronograph

chopper7 · 6 October 2012, 10:48 PM

I concur.

Tudor66 · 7 October 2012, 12:20 AM

How about a night photo...Near perfection of a watch if you ask me...

There is a RedSub I am pondering that has been sitting in a safe for many years; it's more than the twice the price of my whitesub... Perhaps someday the Red will make it into the collection as well...

katana · 7 October 2012, 05:26 AM
