It’s just something spectacular about the DW fat font on the 1601/8. In your face!

Mod. 1803

My day-date was purchased in 1977 by my father from a gentlemen who owed money after a gambling trip to Las Vegas. It is a Model 1803 Caliber 1556 mfg. 1968. It came with a Hong Kong band and the diamond bezel was on it. The band is stretched and I am considering replacing it with a nice strap. Any suggestions?

Why does the indices look like painted on pinkish phony patina tritium dial on that Sub? Is it a redial?

Are you using still using Low colour resolution phone from early 2000(:??
I don’t see pink tone you mentioned in flesh or here. It’s one of the best and nicest maxi dial that I own and it’s from Andrew shear. Lol
