Hi OF,

Came across an 16030 with a glossy black dial that appears to be all correct and in good condition, but I’m not well versed in these so I figured I’d ask the room for some assistance. I’m quite enamored with it so I wanted to ask you all for opinions to make sure my frothiness, LOL, isn’t blinding my better judgment.

Here’s what I can tell from my search so far:
  • Typeface appears to be good
  • Glossy Dial seems to be great albeit with missing lume plot at 6 o’clock.
  • Hands and Dial lume appear to have matching patina.
  • Somewhat uncommon 78360 oyster bracelet for this reference with “H” bracelet code appears original and 1983 production year matching to the 75XXXXX watch serial. Although I think it has seen a polish or rebrush.
  • Case wear seems consistent with age but doesn’t appear to have been polished in the past. Appears to be original finishing that is worn in honestly.
  • I haven’t seen the movement yet but I will look to see it in the next couple days.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Here are the photos.


Thanks so much!
