Sorry I only had my iPhone and it was the best I could manage.

Appears to be a correct Mk IV (some, many call it a Mk3) 1665 white dial which would be correct for a 7.2 mil serial. Better pics with hands not covering text would be helpful. Case looks nice and sharp from what I can tell of the two pics.

JustinK · 27 September 2014, 04:29 AM

Here are some better pics. Hopefully all checks out as I own it! The crystal desperately needs some Polywatch and is distorting the dial. Dial looks good, I do see some very small white flecks which I assume are tritium.

Thanks for your help!

Lovely patina and sharp case - congrats! get that crystal polished and it will look fab.

A little Polywatch made a huge difference.

I posted for help today from a jeweler as I was not familiar with this reference. I am glad it checks out as I took a bit of a gamble not knowing exactly what I had but I trust the seller and it just looked legit. Needless to say I have been learning a lot about Great White's in the last couple hours.
I was told it was a one owner watch, unfortunately no papers to put in my closet.

I am very happy now that I can see the dial.

Well done - stunning. I think you did well, there. Up to you, of course, but I'd also source a matching pearl for the insert as it would be the cherry on the cake
