Very nice combo. that book looks like a good one to have around.
Are their any books that have all the sport models from the beginning to current models? |

Even though the book was published only a few years ago, since the focus is on vintage watches I want to say it cuts off around the mid to late '80s.

The 16800 while a sapphire reference ran from about 1980 to 1988 or so, again with the switch to gloss WGs in the mid 80s. In mid 1985 the reference 1655 was replaced.

It is a very good book with one problem. All the watch pics are computer generated. It would have been perfect if it showed actual watches. JMHO =) maverick
