I have to say, Thom’s 16800 is arguably the best I’ve seen.
On the 1680 / 16800 debate. I’ve had a couple of 1680’s over the years, but didn’t keep them, and seldom wore them. No quickset and the protruding top hat susceptibility. Whereas, I’ve had a couple of 16800’s for many years. I wear them regularly and without worry. Vintage charm combined with modern practicality. There’s lots of variety too in terms of patina and wear and tear, of course.
This was originally purchased on 24 March 1984 from Joyeria Riviera in Puerto Rico and has seen some action over the years...
This one from 1983 and had clearly had a more sheltered life…
