Nice, and I love the faded bezel!
But it's a 16760. AKA Fat Lady.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I like the faded bezel too, but I'm not 100% sure that I can live with the dial. It's tough to see in the pics but it's fading (going matte) in a very uneven way. You can sort of see in the last photo. It is like no other spider or tropical dial that I have ever seen. The seller was honest about the condition of the dial and I budgeted the installation of a service dial into the purchase price unless you guys really don't think I should? Advice??

Hahaha, I've got a Fat Lady on her way to my place, too.
I would keep the dial as is... If it's the original dial, I would leave it. Ken

Congratulations, excellent choice! I would keep the original dial as well (do dial and hands match?) Would it be possible to post some pics detailing the dial fading?
Enjoy it and wear it in good health. |
