Got my 16800 back today from my watchmaker, who installed my NOS Tritium hands that I recently sourced. :)

I've really been waiting for the day that I've been wearing this watch to work on a "6" day :)

Great photos!

The graphic designer in me loves this design element. Is there some sort of master list with all the references with the open six and nines? Seems the change happened in the mid 80s but might have made it into the 90s with some models.

Looks like aftermarket paper, overmagnifying the date
