Brothers

Recently picked up another 1680. this is a 6.1 mil. circa 1980 with the high crystal.




Notice the difference between the high crystal and the orginal.

Very nice, Mike....but you seem to have a number of "similar" looking watches. Don't you find that confusing at times?

They just don't get it, Mike. When we try to explain it to them, it makes our heads hurt . Just buy her a necklace and forget it.
