Nanuq Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's all about the tiny serifs. Look at the 3, 4 and 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's definitely gen. There were 2 distinguishable MK3 'variants'. One looks a hair thicker (Nanuq's) and the other is a tiny bit thinner. On the thinner one's I've noticed that the printing is often not centered as nicely which explains why the '20' and '30' go off the inner bezel insert's edge.

508-Fanatic Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's missing that little dot thing in the triangle so it's worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 There are actually at least 3 Mark III variants, this is a rare "hook five" style: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champagnesky Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 You should put it in salt water somewhere in the sun for a couple of months. A bleached look would even out all the bumps and scratches on the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Here's the insert from my 1680, all original from the original owner, insert appears to be the same one as I just bought. as for salt water and sun, I'mAll for aging but for Gen pieces I'd prefer to keep them as original as possible.
