Hi all, i have sink my funds in my new found love.

always like the acrylic look over sapphire.

however, the wheel calender is silver base and not the creamy white.

also the font seems more "skinny"

anything amiss?

appreciate all feedbacks.

It would be very helpful to: 1. See a picture through the cyclops and 2: Not have the hands over the Rolex and other dial printing........

I just picked it up today!

I will bring it to RSC after they finish with my 1675 - which will take another 3-4 weeks after they checkout the serial #.

i just found out the dial has been replaced some 10yrs back.

also the crystal is a little bevelled on top and maybe that explains the magnifying effect is not there?

somehow i find white date calendar looks more pure and rich for its heritage.

its 95% white 5 % yellow now.

the lume is still there under bright sun light.

sorry, the great white refers to sea dweller and not sub.

heres another photo with the 69173 which i just got today.

a gift for my wife, a mum to be and I going to be a father soon.

the day i got my 1680 is also the day i know my wife is pregnant.

hehe
