Came across a neat 16803 with an original dial and a faded 16613 insert added..

Its interesting how these older models fade change colours

Wow love that faded dial. Will this increase its worth?

it's worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, like the purple 16613's . Some people are willing to pay a bit more for them.

Love this forum

If that’s a genuine fade and genuine insert and dial then I’ve never seen an ageing like that on any other watch.

So first time I’ve seen one like that! Excellent

I’ve never seen one like this before! Looking at it, I just imagine that it spent A LOT of time soaking up the sun rays!

While the faded colors are a little sad, I have to smile at the fact that it is still holding on to its beauty... unique beauty!

The insert would have to go for me but that dial is stunning. Time will tell what will happen to newer dials...

That colour/hue is amazing. Could you post more pictures?

I’ve seen a similar insert online... but pretty sure this is the result of chemical treatment, not aging. The dial is also an interesting hue.
