I'm on the same boat. I was thinking of puretimes 1680 and sending it out to get modded. Anyone can chime in on the puretimes 1680 quality? Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

i just had it sized and to be honest this watch is growing on me. got some compliments while i was drinking coffee at starbucks. im in love with the Rolex Sub but this watch will be a competitor for me. The size doesn't bother me at all specially now its been sized. it feels really solid and on the heavy side a tad heavier than my Tag Aquaracer 500m. The lume on this is amazing it stands out and shows right away on low shaded areas. I will be keeping this for a long time. Here's a comparison with my Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m

I just back from Hasselbeins Jewelry in Carmel CA an AD of Rolex and Omega. I alway bring stuff there for authenticity check just to make sure. The pawnshop owner guarantees that this is a gen watch and I trust him. Bought a lot of stuff from him. Yeah we have a good relationship. I'm just stoked with this purchase and I decided I'm keeping it. This will be my Christmas gift to myself! She's a keeper! Here she is. Took pics with my iPhone 5 the best I could. Enjoy! Payment made earlier. My small wrist shot

Just got it right now I'm sooo Stoked! 1500 bucks I will post pics ASAP

you should try a rounded file that will fit the hole. slowly filing till you get the perfect snug size to fil the pearl. i did the same with my ultimate sea dweller and used a jewelers glue called G-S hypo cement

i will thanks..been saving fo a 16800 Sub theres one here at my local AD that i put on lay away.its in mint condition all original with a matte dial. one owner complete with papers

Ok I was gonna pay for it yesterday but the owner won't budge in 1500 out the door. he saw that I was so eager to buy the watch. So I left. Imma come back tomorrow (Monday) and see if he will consider my offer again if not ill still get it for 1500 since I can easily make a grand off it. If ever this will be my third gen watch bought that i made good profits and will be able to flip it easy for my ultimate target watch.

So this is a winner for 1200 USD?

Huy guys. My friend works for a local pawnshop here near where I live and he's been giving me insides when he has nice watches coming up for sale. He's offering me this Omega Seamaster Planet ocean. Now I've just seen this few minutes ago and took a quick picture while his boss wasn't around. This watch is the real deal but its huge. Too big for my tiny wrist. Now I was thinking of flipping it. Only thin is it has no papers. My question is what model is this and what's the selling price on this if I was to sell it on eBay? Thanks

K guys as promised after cleaning the watch and a lil polish here she is. What a beauty! Wrist shots

Nice watch. I read the BK WM9 are hard to find nowadays. Prices for it has gone up. Saw one on repgeek go as high as 1K.

I spent the whole afternoon reading about the watch yesterday and goin to different forums specially at Rolex Forums. They do hold a good value and with the right collector and condition of the watch they go as high as 3K. I called my local Rolex AD here in Carmel CA and they will still service the watch. They told me they are only one of the few who services vintage Rolex because that's their stores main expertise and that's what they sell. Some Rolex AD will not service vintage rolex. The full service will cost 390 USD on this. So I went to check out the watch lastnight and talk to my friend about it...bla bla bla my typical strategy..about servicing the watch and told him that its hard to find a AD who would service it. That's since it's been sitting for years gotta have to service it. To cut the story short he asked me how much id paid for the watch. And I'm like...ummm half? How bout 700 bucks. Then he answer "deal.. it yours!" I'm like no freakin way... So I checked it out gave it a shake winded it and adjusted the time. The sweep is smooth. Just like I read on rolex forums the date change is slow not instant like new calibers. The bracelet is tight a lil scratchy but can be polished. I took off the bracelets to check the ref # and Sn it's there. It's a 5700 and serial of mid 6million makin it 1980 so it's not 40 yrs old. That's fine. 32 yrs is stil vintage. So that's my story my first Genuine Rolex for 700 bucks. I will take pictures of this beautiful vintage and post it later today. Thanks
