That's as beautiful a classic as the one that the OP has.

You are both lucky to have such pieces in your possession.

Congratulations.

I love that watch

Enjoy it for years to come

What a nice purchase, it looks great on you!

1675-David · 12 March 2012, 06:26 PM

Very, very nice

rms · 12 March 2012, 08:05 PM

Really beautiful. I showed the picture to my wife and she described it as "understatement chic"! I think that is a perfect description. Wear it in good health!

bluemartinifan · 12 March 2012, 09:50 PM

Anders, I owned a similar watch with a blue dial - I loved it - yours is gorgeous - you can wear it with a tux or blue jeans - enjoy!

Fifth Ave Rolex Man · 12 March 2012, 09:52 PM

Like it too! Looks like the baby of the new DJ II with the smooth bzl.....

True.

The new 116300 with the similar dial as my 16200 is just stunning

, and with the more massive current size. Will try it out for sure when it comes to my local ADs, but I will need some convincing to enjoy the size. For me 40 mm is max, and then on sporties.

romaniac2k · 10 May 2012, 11:55 PM

Beautiful!! I'm also in the market for a 16200 silver dial myself

Same here! Would so much love to come across one of these NOS watches at some point, myself.

Rebel · 11 May 2012, 12:57 AM

Had one. My first in fact. Flipped if for a GMT. Enjoy yours.

IMG2 · 11 May 2012, 01:09 AM

Congratulations on your new purchase. Did you buy it to wear or to sit in the box? My guess is you bought it to wear, so wear it. It's only a matter of a few $$$ and your watch can once again look like it does now.

Agreed, always loved that watch... Too bad it just gets lost on my wrist, so small :/

Enjoy it

acce1999 · 11 May 2012, 01:22 AM

Thanks for bringing this thread up again!

And thanks for all the nice comments.

I am using the watch. I wear it now. It has been given 50% of the wrist time since I got it. I enjoy it a lot. It is the DJ I should have bought when I was 25... And now I got it.

I am still looking for the NOS 1016, that I should have bought in my early twenties too...

And the NOS 1675 that I would have bought new ... if I was older... or were allowed to spend the money as a child...

Some more pictures (yes I have two sets of bracelets, but I prefer it on Oyster that it originally came on):

Best,

A

Great watch and beautiful pics as usual, buddy ! A pleasure to my eyes. Enjoy

Congrats on a very nice DJ!

caryyee · 11 May 2012, 07:36 AM

Damm that's a nice find!!! If I found one that was NOS like that, I'm not sure if I'd want to wear it, I'd treasure it more than my gold watches lol.

JohnBoy · 11 May 2012, 12:18 PM

Its perfect! Good find!

JohnFM · 11 May 2012, 12:34 PM

Beautiful watch Anders. Is it the same case size as the newer 116200?

John

nbTimes · 11 May 2012, 02:43 PM

looks very nice...

congrats.

Atomant · 11 May 2012, 04:02 PM

So how does it feel wearing a NOS vintage Anders?

A.Sharp · 11 May 2012, 04:19 PM

Refreshing
