If the rest of this 1680 reference is original, it would not be too difficult to bring it back
to close to " as issued." It is a nice watch.

That's my train of thought..
The bezel certainly looks acceptable to the normals.. The Bracelet I'm not sure about as far as being spec. But so many ppl have modified originals to their own tastes. You could make this 'your own'... - just sayin'

Interesting, true. I guess it's not like I intend to buy it as an 'investment'. I want to wear it and enjoy it, so having it as my own unique piece could work. I'm going to view it in a few days so I can find out more about it then. Perhaps I can just wear it on a strap as my field watch.
