...and it’s an ‘87 YOB 16800 about a month ago and I couldn’t be happier.
Will get a pic up shortly.

Just a quick couple of questions I hope you guys can help me with.
I’ve only just joined this forum recently and have learnt loads already!
It’s definitely been polished, but is keeping excellent time and doesn’t require a service.

The box supplied is a reference number 68.00.08, is this correct?

The hands have definitely been changed in a service as some point, dial is tritium as is the pearl dot on the bezel and are nicely coloured, hands are bright white. Best place to source original replacements?

Bracelet is a 91350 which I believe is correct, and the clasp is marked 93150 and J12. End links are 593. Are these also correct

Thanks in advance!

I would look for hands on eBay(trusted sellers only) or chrono24.... it will look much better with tritium hands that’s for sure!!!

As soon as I get 10 posts I’ll put up a picture!
Is there a list of trusted sellers for parts? I’ve seen there is one for watches but not sure about parts. Colour matching online is also proving rather difficult!

Put up a want to buy ad here and VRF, but be careful of who responds. Only deal with guys who have history.
