Vintage experts

Does everything look good on this 1680.
Want to trade just not a vintage expert. I'm a little concerned hands might of been replaced.

I'm afraid better photo's are needed to give this a decent assessment, unfortunately there is only one half decent photo of the dial and the hands are obscuring most of the dial detail in it. It looks like it may be a Mk II dial but can't be sure with the hands in the way. The lighting on most photo's is not very good but in the second last photo they do look like bright white luminova replacement hands. The insert is service. Try and get some close up unobscured photo's of the dial and hands and of the case from directly in front to show the lugs and also a photo of the crown guards. Then others will be able to give you their views. I personally wouldn't rush into buying this one on what can be checked out at present

Thank you for the reply. These phots were sent to me from current owner. He wants to trade for a 2018 116710LN I currently have for sale. I just don't know vintage even if it were in my face.

Looks like the hands is new or re lumed, but you need better photos.

Hands in the second to last photo look newer or luminova, common on these watches. Not original
