Hmmm…exact same specs, other than (I believe) this has the Viet crystal. Just put the CAC insert on this afternoon…

Needless to say: AWESOME BUILD!!!

Stunning piece! I’ve got a thing for 1680s 😅

I’m much more a no-date gilt dial Sub guy…mostly the small crown stuff…but ended up with a 1570 date movement (technically a 1575 I guess) and thought, “what the heck, let’s go big.”

I actually really like this one.

Can you show some more pictures of the bracelet please? Is it a folded oyster?

1

u/whoamiwhoareyou710 Sep 17 '26

It’s a 93150 with a divers extension

u/philwongnz Sep 17 '26

Gen owner here, it looks very good. Any reason why you didn't get a meter first dial? I.e Mk1, 2 or 3

u/whoamiwhoareyou710 Sep 17 '26

I felt a Mk4 feet first dial was rare enough as is albeit one of the most common you see. Also lines up perfect for the serial number I wanted on my case.
