    Hello

    For your consideration an excellent example of this classic transitional matte dial Submariner ref 16800

    Serial number 8,29X,XXX with correct tritium dial and tritium hands.
    The dial and hands are an off-white, eggshell color and are in excellent condition.
    Reference and serial numbers are clearly visible between the lugs.

    The watch comes with two inserts.

    The original bezel insert is faded to a dark gray color and is in outstanding condition for its age (see pictures 5,6, 8 & 9) There is a score mark through the '30' which is clearly visible in the pictures.

    I sourced a second "newer" original insert (see pictures 1 and 4) currently on the watch.

    The case and lugs are very full despite the fact that the watch has been polished previously.

    Sapphire Crystal is in excellent condition.

    The watch wears a 93150 bracelet with all 12 links. Correct 593 end links and "H" code (1983) clasp. Divers extension and shows minimal stretch.

    My watchmaker recently checked the watch who stated who stated it appears to be in excellent condition and not in need of a service.

    The timing was checked and the watch is currently running at +3 seconds per day. The crown winds very smoothly with minimal resistance.



    Asking $6,350 plus Shipping. Wire transfer preferred.

    Watch only with second insert.

    Returns will only accepted within 7 days of receipt if item is not as described and is returned in exactly the same condition as it was received. Buyer is responsible for the return shipping and insurance.
