路Hi Everyone,
Just thought I'd share my latest purchase. Given I already have a 166.010 I wasn't on the lookout for a 168.024, however, when I saw this particular example with onyx markers (rather than black paint) I just had to have it.
Overall I reckon the watch is in very good nick, the brushed side are quite visible and the dial doesn't seem to have any damage or spotting. the end links are marked 511 and the BoR bracelet is a 1036 (no12).
The serial number is in the 28mil range which I thought was quite late for onyx markers, but after speaking to another OF member, it seems mine could be from the Japanese market where some late onyx markers were found, which makes sense given I did purchase this from Japan.
Enjoy the pictures (the movement shot was pre service so mind the discolouration and gunk).
