Franken 16800 on EBay...8.9 serial number with "Original matte dial"
The watch was originally listed as a 8.9mm serial number 16800. Then, the seller, after I called him out on the matte dial on a 8.9 serial number watch on 11/18, went and edited the auction description to simply list the serial number at "8mm" on Nov 19th.

I think the watch was fine and probably sold off the Bay thanks to this advertising.
At the end of the day, it has a valuable dial. I think the asking price was ridiculous but who knows what it sold for... Here is some reading material. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=138480 https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=604889 |

Meh. The dial has some spotting/water damage which is probably why it was removed from the original watch to begin with. Also, the pearl has a yellow gold surround and the endlinks are from a two-tone bracelet (the center gold plating was obviously removed).
