Hi,
I have decided to see if there is any interest in this 116000 that i picked up last week from "normistheman". While i do really love the watch, I did not anticipate how much I would miss not having a date feature, I find myself looking for the date on the watch and being annoyed when I dont see it, so with that said, id be looking to trade for the following watches (with realistic trade value):
Omega PO 8500 42mm (black dial)
Omega AT 8500
Rolex 1601 (or possibly 16013) on oyster bracelet (not stretched to hell)
IWC pilot chrono
or maybe something else i missed, similar in style to the above.
The 116000 is an M serial however im told from normistheman it was originally sold in 2014, no papers to prove this. Watch is running +7 sec for me. In very nice worn condition, no major dings. Only blemish to note other than surface scuffs is highlighted in photos. If you are looking for a watch that looks new, this is not for you. Otherwise a polish would make it look new of course. The blue dial is really something else on this watch, it changes shades depending the on angle and I have to say it looks awesome. Upon receiving it, i had it pressure tested (passed) at Ottawa Swiss Watch services. There are 13 links, which im told is a full bracelet, I wear it with all links in place with the "microadjust" in the first spot, so it can still be made bigger (i have 7inch wrist and wear it loose).
If I missed any details don't hesitate to ask. Would be my pleasure to send you any other photo(s) you would like.
Here is the listing from normistheman:
http://canwatchco.ca/showthread.php...Sunburst-Blue-Dial-4050-FIRM&highlight=116000
Selling for exactly what I paid, 4000$ + shipping (firm), though would much prefer a face to face in the Ottawa area. Would consider driving to Montreal, maybe even Toronto for the right deal / trade.
Excuse the lousy photos, not an easy watch to photograph without a lightbox. Full gallery here: https://bence.smugmug.com/Other/116000
