Can't wait to see it, especially if it's a matte dial. Congrats!

16800 is a great intro to vintage

If the 16800's Dial is matte, it Passes in my book.
Great combo of vintage and modern.
It's puzzling why 16800's are not more popular.

Jack, I think that's a fantastic watch. You did well. I think the 16800 matte dial is quite underrated. You have a very nice example. Congrats!

Thanks guys!!! It's most uniquely faded bezel I've ever seen on a 16800. I love it
