Beautiful plumage!

Seriously, lovely tritium patina. The 16800 and the 168000 are two of my favourites.

This is calling out to me for few reasons.

1) My birth year
2) love the Matte dial
3) it's a rollie

But the price is what my entire collection is worth atm... =O

Our "friends" at Wanna Buy a Watch" is also offering one of these for $9,850.US.
No Box, no Papers, no Bracelet and not nearly as nice.
If you're lookin' for one of these - This is it!
