Hi team,
I'm about to purchase this one and just wanted a sanity check here. Looks pretty good to me, would be a later MK, maybe 3 or 4? Any one have any thoughts?

RyanPrasad · 3 August 2018, 08:22 AM

Any quick expert eyes would be greatly appreciated here!

Went ahead and pulled the trigger here but would still love if anyone had any thoughts on the dial mark #

And also if anyone has some SS 316L Tritium hands to match plz hit me up!

Is there some damage on the dial by the 1 o'clock lume?

Thanks for the check, I didn’t notice that before I’ll check, hopefully it’s dust...

I guess look at the plots for 1 & 10 they have a bit of white showing under, I’ve see it before but is that normal?

Got a better pic

My personal opinion is that it is not that big of a deal: of course it is not 100% perfect, but the same darker spots you can notice between the 8 and 9 marker. I would say: enjoy it in good health.

One quick question: should a 16800 with a serial number 845xxxx have a glossy or a matt dial?

I would be abit corncerned about the dark patches around the 1o'clock lume but other than that, looks good. mk3?

RyanPrasad · 7 August 2018, 04:18 AM

Thanks for all the input team!!

845XXXX certainly would be on the cusp and a collector would want something below the 800000 to be fully comfortable but this baby is for the wrist full time so it’s more for the eye than line up. My plan is to sit and wait for a nice minty case with low serial down the line...
