I remember buying my first 1680 in 1992. I was just happy to have a submariner. At the time, it was some 2/3rds the cost of a more modern, albeit used, submariner. The dealer tried to up sale me with a ratcheting bezel and sapphire crystal. Luckily, I only had $1,400 to my name.

Yup, in fact, Jeff saw it in person yesterday. He really liked it.

Heuer made 500 of these for Beechcraft, who sold them to customers as a promotion. Unfortunately I don't have paperwork for mine, but I was told it came from the artist who made airplane models for Beechcraft as part of their design process.

Sometime I think about a Sigma 6263, not they're so expensive these days.

Thanks, Peter!

At the end of the day, I do like these on their original bracelets!
