pam007 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I was going through my parts bin and found a Service Tropic 19 I bought for my 5513. I was bored and replaced the T127 on my 1680 with the service T19. Which do you prefer? Service T19 on loft and T127 on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 5513 was originally produced with the 19, which is what looks best. Alternatives should only be considered when the 19 is not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagnesky Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I kinda prefer the t127 because the high plexi is part of 1680s personality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I don't know why, but the 1680 and the 1655 are the only date-Rolexes I like with a plexi cyclops. So I would go with the 127 (top hat preferabbly cause it's badass) on the 1680. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 On the 1680 the 127 is the way to go. Love the height and overall look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtguk Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Got to be the 127 mate, looks just perfect and I love service T19 crystals too, I have them on most of my vintage rollies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Either one is just great for different reasons when it comes to gen crystals. I personally prefer the look of the T19 service dome, but a gen 127 has a really nice profile to it, as well. I don't know if the 1680 whites had this as a standard option at the AD, but with the reds you were able to choose which crystal you wanted when you picked it up at the AD. You had your choice of either the T19 or the standard top hat with cyclops. Both are correct and look snazzy in their own way. FWIW, I hate the rep top hat on my 1680 and plan to swap in the T19.

I learn something new every day on here, bespoke crystal service eh and I agree Gen crystals make a hell of a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have not found a rep 127 that is acceptable. Gen 127 is far, far superior in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlf Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Not a fan of t19 with date, top hat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Go 1685 style with a t39 and never look back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 T19! Personally any Rolex with a cyclops doesn't do it for me. The 1680 looks great with a T19, a kind of 1665 taken off the steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
