Dial spidering 16800?



It doesn't have the major splitting I see in other spider dials, so could this be another effect due to aging?

Yes, just surface deterioration - looks fantastic to me; the whole patination thing going on.

The VAST Majority of these Dials as well as the 16660 Gloss dials had manufacturing issues that caused them to do any number of things…

Looks very cool...

Love the crazing of the dial. You should be happy to have one like that.

To be honest I love that it's like that plus it's my birth year watch. Only thing I want to change is the date wheel the current one isn't open 6&9
