Purple Faded Sunburst dial
Hi RF.
Long time lurker, first time writer. Im seeking some help regarding the Sun faded blue dial, that turns purple on some of the older 16613/16803. Is it only/mostly on the 16803 it happens, or is it more then likely to find it on a 16613.? Is there anything to watch out for about these, besides the usual stuff when looking around for a watch? How is the selling value of these. Are they harder/the same in order of both price and ability to get sold? And any other info is kindly recieved :) The watch in mention; A 1992 16613 Thank you in advance. - Rigadam. |

Welcome to the Forum!
It's a matter of taste, some prefer true blue and to others the change in color is unique. There is a watch for everyone at any price... |

If you like purple this is a great example, for me it is too deviant from blue.

A bit controversial but if I saw that I'd suspect it's a rep, even when I know some 16613's do fade to that colour.
I sometimes frequent the markets in China and have noticed with replica watches of this model, many don't get the dial right and it is purple in colour. |
