Thanks Beaumont. Yes, this is a pitty that there's racism against the whites within the collector community
That being said, it makes things more interesting for us to investigate the reality. Whatever the case may be, the Mark IV has the best open 6's of any white dial. I think we should start calling it the Mark 3.5 since most of the watches we've been seeing tend to be in the 5.3-5.8 serial range.
Diver Dick,
Your's is clearly a Mark I dial but the 5.97 serial range puts it at 1979-80. To me there's zero question as to its authenticity being such pristine B+P piece. As I've said earlier, my conclusion is to question the commonly accepted knowledge concerning white dial "Mark" numbers.
Sweet watch by the way!
