16233 grey dial check

Have a line on this...case is a bit soft and band has some stretch but could all work for the deal; my main concern is the grey dial being original to the watch.
Apologies for the bad photos; just what I have now.

You'll never know 100 percent if that dial was original to the watch, unless you're buying it from the original owner and he/she confirms, or it comes with original paperwork, like a sales receipt, that notes the dial color.

In general, I'd say it looks good. On two-tone and gold, you want to see that type of dial and hands. The hour markers and hands look like yellow gold.

Also, hard to tell for sure based on those photos, but I'd say the case doesn't look too bad at all. The lugs looks quite fat with a nice case/lug lines.

Thanks Swish, I’ll try and get more pics next week...the price is one of my main motivators as I think it’s a “decent” deal at 3250usd.

Does not look like a 16233 model looks much older have you checked the case

Pretty sure you’re right and it’s a 16013.
