Birthyear 16750

1983 16750 w/ B&P. How did I do? I plan on keep this and passing it down to my kiddo. Is 1983 considered "vintage"? If so, I'm getting old. :(

Dial is fantastic. Looks like the hands match really well. Good snag! I personally prefer the oyster bracelet on those but that’s just me.

Thanks all. It really checks all the boxes and I feel like I have successfully checked a box of my watch bucket list. Now, hopefully all my other pieces don't fall by the wayside. ;)

What a nice first post after nearly 5 years on TRF

It looks great and I like the dial/bezel combination. I had a Root Beer from mid-80’s but this is great, too.

5 years of lurking. I am notorious for that. I'd love to add a Root Beer to my collection at some point in life. The only other vintage I own is a 6694, all the rest are modern/semi-modern.
