I honestly do not understand that hype about a SM XVI.... they are not uncommon. How many do you need? 😜

It's all about the hype! It works for Hollywood, so why not on a watch forum?

I'm just looking to bring one home down under where it belongs, I've got a dial... but that's it so far 🙁

Update: Interior photos have been taken. Very expensive 2 1/2 hour lunch. Waiting to make sure I have all my I's dotted and T's crossed. It will happen just don't know when for sure. Patience on your part is appreciated.

Now, to be more serious about it.... it is explained easily: it is a re-dial as these watches never came with a black dial!

But I love to keep it because there is such a nice contrast between the rose gold case and markers and the black dial.

money makes the world go round...😀

there are always some around on the bay, the difficulty is to find some above the average as they tend to wear down a bit due to 18K gold cases

.....and the delay from over-hyping just caused this......

...... and all the members of ΩF now know that the XVI is NOT so rare!

Looks like it just cost ONEWATCH at least $500 for over-playing his hand. 🙁 🤦
