Ok...so.... Do I Get Another 1680 Or A 1665? Mbw/wm..

[Guest chronomat123]

I sold my MBW 1680-- and I need a vintage Rolex again.

I originally sold it with the intention of getting a WM 1665 whiteletter, bu tnow I'm having second thoughts, because I really like the flat crystal and cyclops of the 1680.

Does anyone own both? Is one beter looking than the other ( I realize it's a matter of opinion.)

So do I get a white 1665 or just buy another 1680 white?

1665 White. Better dial.

get another 1680.. i have both and i wear the 1680 white all the time and never wear the 1665 eventhough i have a vintage fold over bracelet for the 1665 too. the 1680 is more substantial esp if you wear other big watches like breitling or pannies.

1665 white.

When i finally get an MBW/WM (ie. when other watches stop getting in the way), that's what i'm going for. Have you seen Bazz's? It's gorgeous.

Really? I would have expected the opposite... Interesting. I've always thought SDs were more substantial.

DRSD with a Superdome t39

I've got both... Modded and worked over with gen parts. But if I had to choose a favorite, my preference would be the 1665.

1665

Well this sucks.

You guys convinced me a whiteletter 1665 is the way to go.

But I can't find one.

Just ordered a red 1680 from WM. I can't wait any longer, it's sad.

........... see how this goes

I have both and love them equally. Although I am in the process of changing my white letter back to a DRSD with a modded dial. Watch this space. Anyhow here's the current versions for now. Oh and a 5517 thrown in for good measure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
