Probably early 2000s. Swiss Made dial, no chapter ring, and most likely holes case (from the glimpse of the chamfers).... Just saying

The most awesome dial to go with yellow gold! Congratulations!

I knew the 116618LB was a tad big for my smaller wrist from 2 years ago so it was a close call between the following:

1. Paul Newman 116528 Champagne dial with black sub dials
2. DD36
3. 16618 Sunburst blue

Well, the decision was made and here she is. Man.. I am just over the moon with this piece.

Thanks for reading and sharing my joy


Huge congrats my friend.
