dutchguy2 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Can't seem to find the answer anywhere on the net. I know that the original pearl is different but I've seen enough examples of a 1680 wit a modern pearl. Reason for asking is that I can get a Tritium pearl bezel inlay from a 16800 for a very good deal but want to use it on my 1680 in building.

woof* Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Sorry it's a blurry pic, best I could in a pinch. The vintage is Yuki, the modern is watchmaterials. You can see the size difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacher62 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Thank you all for the quick reply. I bought the insert anyhow LOL. It was a to good deal to pass on. Well the search will continue for a affordable 1680 insert. The problem with the 16000 insert on a 1680 is twofold. First, the inside and outside diameter is different (as has already been stated) and the width of the ring of the insert, itself, is thinner. Second, the cup or dish of the insert is much flatter on the 1680. This is one of the things, coupled with a nice domed crystal, that gives the vintages such a distinctive appearance over the more modern subs/gmts/sds.
