God Bless your watch

I really am in love with your watch and I just sold my 16808 1985 w/o nipple dial and now I want to get the black w/ nipple dial.

Wow man, that is super nice, especially dial, hands & case.
Great condition, you must be very happy.
I think that is the quickset movement going by the depth rating on the dial.
Really classy 18k model, that's a keeper

Very nice! Amazing how much lighter those old PM models are compared to the new ones. It weighs about the same as the new SS subs.

Yikes! Don't cut yourself on those sharp lugs ;) seriously though, head is in phenomenal shape for a soft metal of such age. Collection is even more impressive! Love that watch tray!
