Looks great & that faded bezel sets it off.

Here is a better photo of the dial. The fade goes from 1:30-3:00 "southwest" across the dial down to about 6:00-8:30. However, the circle under the sweep of the hour hand is not faded.

Nice watch..congrats! I would leave the watch original. If you want perfect...buy new.

Did you get a full set (B&P) with it? I have been looking at adding a fat lady to my meager collection but have not seen many full set 16760's around.

NKflyer,
What clasp in on your bracelet?
do u have a picture of it?
The one I just bought has the Sub/Oyster clasp, not the GMT type..
As I understand, many 16760 had Sub type clasps.

It has a 93150 bracelet which does have the sub style clasp. A couple of members here reassured me that the 93150 was indeed an option on the 16760 and the date code on the clasp matches the watch's serial. There is also a very distinguishing square indentation on either side of the wetsuit end of the clasp. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the club. Beautiful example you have. Did you get box and papers?
