Taken in the Chilterns?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have certainly be surprised by how many have been on SC recently. At least 10+ in the last few weeks or so.

Nettlebed, but soon Garvald, Haddington, East Lothian.

Hi,

I have been a member on here for a reasonable amount of time, but only post occasionally.

I am 40, married, have two dogs, live near Henley on Thames, but originally from London, and am...

About £2,800+.

I saw a bone fide 2004(ish) on eBay with a recent full service (new bezel, crown and tube), 78790A solid link/solid end link bracelet, and full B&P go for £3,200.

I bought this...

Rolex (Tudor):

1680 Sub Date
16750 GMT-Master
1675 Brown Nipple
16570 T>25 Explorer II
9401/0 Tudor Snowflake Sub

But at a reported £3.5K, my initial desire, mainly because it's 39.7mm and not 42mm, has dissipated somewhat.

If €2,420 for the "aged leather" version, then I will be reaching for my wallet.

I have seen $5,450 (£3,500) quoted.

I think the OP's is a 1675 and not a 16713 or 16753

Not sure they are that rare, but could be wrong.

I have this coming from NYC:

This is also 1972.

I would go for the old Explorer II (16570) but pick one with a T>25 dial and plenty of patina. Also get a a 78790A (not 78790) solid link, solid end link bracelet.

The 216570 is just too large.
...

I think you mean provenance, not providence.

Sell the YM and buy a 1665 instead. At least you will only need to find an additional £5-6K.

I have a ND Tudor Snowflake Sub, so I bought a 1680 as opposed to a 5513, but either are the perfect Rolex IMHO. Lovely watches, but really only on bracelets.

Having said that, the vintage Subs...

Box but no papers, yet 12 months' warranty.

Note: I have nothing to do with WofD

I voted LV. Had one before, plus you can fit a black bezel inlay to make two watches / looks.

With regards to the 16600, personally I would rather have a matte dial 16660.

For me, there is only the dark brown (or black) Omega genuine alligator padded leather deployant strap. Not cheap at £220+, but great looking:

For me, this is the more interesting watch to recently appear on Blowers' website:

Thanks everyone

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the correct acrylic crystal / plexi glass for this watch?

Thanks in kind,

Alex.

This is worth a look:

Reputable dealer too.

Why buy new?

Check out the white one on Mike Wood's shop / website:

I was looking at this one, but choose another as I wanted a 'no date':
