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...

I personally like it...what matters is: do you?

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

Where did you find the pic for the YG purple Dial with jubilee band. I love this one

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.
