My first Red Sub 1680... And it's a beauty.
I'll let the pictures speak...

But a little info.
It's a MkV with a MkIII bezel. No chipping on the gorgeous dial, hands etc...

3,1 million case with a -71 stamped caseback. The case is in an amazing condition.

"Pateted" 9315 bracelet with 380 end links.
