My 168000...

Just back yesterday from a servicing...My 9.7 mil 168000.
A watch with a lot of controversy...



A rare reference, some say the watch was only produced for 9 months and yet there are those that say it was produced for almost two years???

My watch arrived (Based on the original paperwork) in the US in November of 1987

My watch sports a 3035 caliber movement...Yet I have talked to people who swear that they have seen them with the newer 3135 caliber???

The watch has 16800 printed on the inside of the case back with the Diamond shape STAMP...and 168000 printed between the lugs.



What I love about this watch is the dial...When compared to my Matt 16800 and My Gloss, Tritium 16600, the 168000's dial seem to fall in the middle...Not Matt, but not completely gloss either...Wonderful...



And my thanks to Rikki for doing a fabulous job...
Cheers
