Thanks! I was told it was from 1986. The research I have done puts it from 86' or 87'.
Was this combination (Blue dial w/ Bark) a rare factory combination? I am having a hard time finding like watches online. Thanks! |

Very lovely dial on your watch. The deep blue looks awesome with the bark finish on the bracelet.

Blue dials just seem to be more popular - so I think fewer hit the re-sale market (or it just seems that way to me).
Great find! |
