Can't wait to see it, especially if it's a matte dial. Congrats!

If the 16800's Dial is matte, it Passes in my book.
Great combo of vintage and modern. It's puzzling why 16800's are not more popular.

Jack, I think that's a fantastic watch. You did well. I think the 16800 matte dial is quite underrated. You have a very nice example. Congrats!
