New Addition 16570

I have been looking for a nice one with even patina across the plots and hands at a reasonable price without success. Then I just happened to be accompanied a friend who wanted to buy a watch to local grey dealer and saw this just sitting in the show case. Very happy to have acquired this W series on 78360 with 501B end links.

Thanks, I love the colors and the fit. I see this moving up to the top of the rotation. The 78360 feels so much more sturdier that the 93150.
I have a 93150 on my 168000 and it’s so flimsy it’s annoying.

Thank you. As is yours!

I was fortunate to find this piece after a deal fell through on another one I was looking at. It’s getting harder to find these tritium Polar dials.
