This specific Ref. 16660 features the rare, very transitional and desirable matte dial. The matte dials were replaced for the more modern glossy black dial in 1984 which makes for a very small production time period for these matte dial variants. This is also what we would consider a "time capsule watch" as the piece comes 100% complete with the original inner and outer boxes, warranty papers, hang tags, booklets, along with an extensive archive of service history throughout the watches life including the original sales receipt.

CASE & BRACELET

The case is believed to be unpolished retaining factory finishing and exhibiting honest wear from normal wear and general use. The original bezel shows some wear and has taken on a wonderful and obvious grey color change. The tritium pearl within the insert has aged slightly lighter than the dial and is lightly cracked. The caseback was replaced by Rolex during a service interval but the watch comes with the original caseback that has the engraving "P.M.REISER" from the original owner. The Rolex 93160 Oyster bracelet with 592B solid end pieces retains 13 links, including the dive extension, remains unpolished showing light stretch from use.

DIAL & HANDS

The gorgeous transitional matte dial is in exceptional condition. The lume plots have taken on a wonderful burnt orange coloration, under U.V. light inspection some of the plots exhibit light yet even lume degradation. The tritium hands have aged slightly lighter than the dial but match the overall look and feel of the watch, under U.V. light inspection the hands exhibit some minor cracking in the lume. The date wheel is era correct with open 6's and 9's.
