Thoughts on this 16800 spider dial

Here she is. I have been looking for a nice one for a while.
How does she look?

Inner and outer stamped box
Booklets and trans booklet
Calendar
Stamped wallet
Stamped tags
Anchor
Stamped paper

England booklets
904 country code
Stamped navy exchange in Italy

Sadly, I have to agree with our colleague here. Love the boxes and all the extras, but the damaged dial negates them for me.

The dial sparkles like a diamond when the right sunlight catches it. Otherwise, you would never notice the spider effect. These dials are cheap to obtain so i am not worried. However, you cannot deny the fact that the spider dials are much rarer than the non spider dials. One man's trash......

There was an identical thread few weeks ago... I still love these dials. To me, they add character for the watch and have a really unique look. Congratulations on the watch!

The only thing that matters is that YOU like it.

If you're OK with the dial, what more could you ask for? It looks great.
