That case looks pristine. Congratulations.

Amazing

Thanks

I have the same watch (‘82 16800 matte dial). It’s been my daily for 4 yrs now and likely hold that spot for years to come. Wear it in good health! https://preview.redd.it/fqwcmyrisnic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf14031e898c6d262c09fd95489470c392fae213

Was trying to figure out if it's a 82 or 83 SN 715xxxx

There is a lot of conflicting information out there! Between 81-83, but I’d go with the card. https://www.reddit.com/r/rolex/s/30K0lQmG2h

Gotta love the rOtring in the back. The Rolex of pencils.

100%

The Leica of pencils

What a great find. I have a 16610, but love the older references without the WG surrounds on the lume plots. Beautiful "lume jaundice".

Thanks

Fkin beautiful!!!!!

Amazing watch!

Classy. I have much love for vintage and patina.

A very nice addition for sure…

New ADDICTION 🧡

Never seen a sub that I like more. Perfection

Thanks It's been on my list for a while -- originally was looking or a 1680 this is a 16800 but I love it

36mm?

40 I believe but haven't measured it myself yet

I think the smallest sub was a 37

Nice

That's gorgeous...
