That's a stunner! I'm a sucker for a GEN movement!

Thanks! All my personal vintage pieces have Gen movements in them (1665, 1680, 5512, 5513, 6263). The only exception is my 1675 and that has a Gen ETA 2836. Perks of sitting at my bench for years .

Question to all of you vintage watch experts out there. Did they ever make a 1680 without a date? How about a no date Comex? I know they made some 5513 Comex with no date, but what about 1680's?

not sure i understand your question.
1680 has a date
5513 does not
