·You are correct. It is indeed 16808. I was also looking at 1680/8. Amateur mistake.
Do you think the dial and hands are original?

·Do you have a serial number or inside casebook pic? Text at bottom of the dial and date wheel look unusual to me

·It’s R7***** serial number, I’m told around 1987. They won’t open case back.

·The “S” in Submariner is also different font. Can we conclude dial isn’t original?

·R7 is a VERY late serial for the nipple dial but not completely impossible and surprising if it is less than 16-18K USD. It might be worth purchasing assuming you can authenticate elsewhere. Look at movement, serial/ref fonts between the lugs and uniformity of lume plots on the indexes and lume on hands. don’t get your hopes up though

·Looks to be font differences between those two dials (and the bezel) - one has serif while the other is sans serif.
Any luck searching images for similar dials?

·I’ve found two on other forums. Others suggested not original. Possibly a replica dial.

·I’ve seen this watch as well listed at $16,995. My concerns were the lugs are polished quite a bit where the top left spring bar pokes out. To find a gold oyster bracelet will be quite pricey. I also have not seen a 16808 nipple dial with the T SWISS T like this example before.
