Ok guys, lets see how good you are>>>
I´ve just add a little nice option on this one.

It´s a N serial Ref 16610 Submainer Date made in 1991, here with a LV Maxi Dial and the fat minute hand.

Lets see how sharp you are, what have I more doing to this watch?



Sorry for the bad quality of the pic, it's just a quick and dirty.

You put the GMT IIc crystal on it, the cyclops has an AR coating.

Certain lighting will give an AR coating a bluish hue, if you look close enough, there is a tad bit of blue on the cyclops above the "2" in 28.
