Rolex Submariner 1680... Yellow lume or white lume?? Lots of pics !!!

Recommended Posts

I have debated too long whether I should have a yellow or white lumed 1680. It is funny how just changing the lume color affects the whole look of the watch ! It is literally a different watch, and I am now convinced it makes perfect sense to have both if this reference is among your favorites....

Viet Mid cases and bezels, DW casebacks and DWOs, PT dial for the yellow lume, DW dial for the white lume, Athaya crowns, crystals from Ebay, not sure of the maker... Gen 93150, TC hands for the white, PT hands for the yellow.

I disagree wholeheartedly, it looks spot on. I've literally seen hundreds and they look pretty much like this one. Btw, FAKE is a 4 letter word. emoji6.png

maybe we didn't the same ;-)

difficult to see hundreds gen red (by gen I mean sold as it from the good period) in Europe but as a proud owner of 2 gen fullset 72 red and 77 white I can just tell that white dial looks better in pics

Not trying to be smart here, but I always liked my cream dots. When RA modded my 1680's he had sort of a colorpalet, and I went exactly in the middle between white and yellow.

I agree.  Cream white for me.  

Also you state Gen 93150

That's not gen 93150.  That's a old PureTime 93150.  
Just wanted to make you aware in case you got taken.  

 

 

The height of that top hat looks a little low.

Mine for comparison 

The crystal is from ebay.  It's also not a top hat like yours, it's a Service T127, and an aftermarket one.

I looked carefully too and agree that the bracelet is indeed rep.
