That's as beautiful a classic as the one that the OP has.

You are both lucky to have such pieces in your possession.

Congratulations.

Really beautiful. I showed the picture to my wife and she described it as "understatement chic"! I think that is a perfect description. Wear it in good health!

Anders, I owned a similar watch with a blue dial - I loved it - yours is gorgeous - you can wear it with a tux or blue jeans - enjoy!

True. The new 116300 with the similar dial as my 16200 is just stunning, and with the more massive current size. Will try it out for sure when it comes to my local ADs, but I will need some convincing to enjoy the size. For me 40 mm is max, and then on sporties.

Same here! Would so much love to come across one of these NOS watches at some point, myself.

Congratulations on your new purchase. Did you buy it to wear or to sit in the box? My guess is you bought it to wear, so wear it. It's only a matter of a few $$$ and your watch can once again look like it does now.

Agreed, always loved that watch... Too bad it just gets lost on my wrist, so small :/

Enjoy it

Thanks for bringing this thread up again!

And thanks for all the nice comments.

I am using the watch. I wear it now. It has been given 50% of the wrist time since I got it. I enjoy it a lot. It is the DJ I should have bought when I was 25... And now I got it.

I am still looking for the NOS 1016, that I should have bought in my early twenties too...

And the NOS 1675 that I would have bought new ... if I was older... or were allowed to spend the money as a child...

Some more pictures (yes I have two sets of bracelets, but I prefer it on Oyster that it originally came on):








Best,

A

Damm that's a nice find!!! If I found one that was NOS like that, I'm not sure if I'd want to wear it, I'd treasure it more than my gold watches lol.

Beautiful watch Anders. Is it the same case size as the newer 116200?
