You’re probably better off asking this question in its own thread over in the vintage section as it’s just going to get overlooked in this thread. Loads of very knowledgeable people over there.

Looks like a nice watch, is the bezel a mark 3 rather than the 4 that you’d expect on a 1982 mark 5 dial though? There was likely some cross over but 1980/mark 4 dials were assumed to be the cut off for mark 3 bezel. Aftermarket Arabic date wheels can be picked up cheap on eBay so you’d want evidence that its factory before paying any premium on it (although if this is the Maunders one then I think they have UAE documents with this watch, and they are nice guys)
