Re listing this ad because of better photos and much lower price.
Here I have a spectacular 16710 Coke Bezel from 1991.
This watch has absolutely beautiful patina on the hour markers. The case appears unpolished and in overall good condition with some signs of wear. The beveled edges are apparent along the chamfers.
Bracelet has a few surface scuffs but overall great shape with little stretch.
Jason at little shoppe of horology has stated that caseback shows markings of recent service, and it is keeping time. All gaskets look good and movement is clean.
The hands on this example are original tritium hands but do not match patina. I have seen a few other watches like this in the past (lagging hands). Some from original owners. These hands show signs of stain on the stems, not sure of the cause but this adds some beautiful vintage charm.
The dial is in fantastic shape and has beautiful creamy patina which is quite rare for this specific model. The clear coat on the dial shows slight signs of tiny bubbles. It is impossible to take a photo of and cannot be seen unless it is in the right light. I am told by many collectors that it will not become more exaggerated, but if it does it may create a much sought after tropical effect. I originally purchased the watch loving this aspect of the dial due to its vintage character on a relatively modern reference
Crystal has small scuffing on the top left. I was advised by Jason not to replace it because the original will allow it to retain most of its value. And it does not effect function.
Overall this is beautiful, rarely aged 16710 with a beautiful history. I am letting it go for an absolute steal $9,999.00.
I am taking more than a $1000.00 loss on this watch in less than a month due to the fact I need it gone quickly because I had another come in.
