FS: Submariner 16610 (1989/L-serial) with Tritium Sponge Dial

Up for Sale is the 1989 L-serial Submariner 16610. I sought this one out for it's vintage features:
-the original Tritium "sponge" dial (the dial 30 year old dial is evenly transitioning from glossy to matte.
-The lume plots are taking on a cream color.
-The open 6 and 9 date wheel.
-Those classic lug holes that look more "tooly" and make strap changes easier
-the hollow endlinks that make these vintage models lighter and more comfortable for daily wear.

I purchased this from a local brick and mortar jewelry shop in my area (Porcello's) less than 6 months ago, so it is still fresh from service.
The sapphire crystal is the originalowitb no etched coronet. There are some faint marks on it between the 5 and 6 o'clock markers and a light edge ding at around 11 o'clock. I agreed with Porcello's that it's still worth keeping the original crystal. The only replaced part is the bezel insert which has a glowing pip....

I have good feedback here, and on Omega Forums and WUS (as DIV) and I maintain a 20 year history on ebay with 100% positive feedback.
And I certainly look forward to exchanging positive feedback on this transaction.

$6500 includes insured shipping in the continuous USA.
I would certainly be open to a face-to-face transaction if you are in the Seattle area.

Thank you for looking!

Still available., price reduced to $6250 shipped
And just to be clear. This is just the watch, no box or papers, or booklets; with 12 links in the bracelet.

I've been getting tons of messages asking whether the Sub is still available. YES. Until I write "SOLD" on this thread, the Submariner is still available....thank you for all the interest.
