Drives me slightly nuts that I'll never know if mine is a put-together, though.
Inner caseback is stamped "5512 III.69." That's period-correct but of course not model-correct. I was told that Rolex sometimes used "5512" casebacks as replacements for 1680 casebacks, but supposedly those 5512 replacements didn't have date codes. I doubt this was the caseback that Rolex originally used for this 1680, but who knows?
Also, I like that this still has the Triplock crown and wasn't replaced with a Twinlock. That's pretty cool to me, even though nobody else seems to care about that particular detail.

... on the 1675 front (stamped 1675 and ). I hadn't seen the old 1680 reference post in a long time. Thanks for reminding me about it. It allowed me to learn a bit more about my watches.
