I read on VFR that it possible that some 168000 got there dial replaces with matte when serviced is the RSC hade some lying around. But I doubt that they ever come from the factory that way. As the matte dial stopped in 1985 and the 16800 is from late 1986/1987.

I would love to have a 16800 matte dial from 1986... but they do not exist…. 168000 matte is a Frankenwatch! An original Frankenwatch! It’s like having a red dial on a white 1680, original but wrong IMHO! |
