Hey all,

I'm on the hunt for a 16570 but wanted to dwell into the vintage field again.... I'm after a polar explorer but I want something that has a creamy face. What reference should I be looking for? 16550 or 16570? Also, any advice before I officially start my hunt?

Grab one with the Swiss T <25 dial. 1990s vintage. Those develop a nice patina.

The premium for 16550 is insane. You are expected to pay a lot more for that, although the creamy patina is much nicer and unique for 16550
