Incoming 84’ 16800 [Purple]

Just received this beauty from Curtis aka b.wayne. 1984 all original 16800. The bezel has faded into a smooth lavender, hour markers and hands have a creamy patina and the dial has also taken on more of a matte look.

Guys, I’m really digging this one. Hope you
enjoy the pics (one is from his website and the other is mine) hope everyone is staying safe!
