A club of only 2 members I think, is the 'Sapphire Glass Matte Dial' Club!

The first is 16800 matte SUB' and the second is the nearly twice the price nowadays of the SUB (despite being only c 18% more at A.D.s in early 80's when new) 16660 matte SEADWELLER.

Makes the early 16800 matte undervalued in my book.
