FINALLY my 16800 build is done!
For those not familiar with the 16800, it is the transitional model between the 1680 and the 16610. The first 16800's had a matte dial, the later ones a glossy dial. I choose the latter.
The most difficult part to get for this build was a datedisc with open 6/9 for the 3135. The genuine 16800 has a 3035, so those wont fit. I managed to get one after quite some time.
Here is just one pic, more will follow!
Specs:
Serviced SH3135
ST case (engraved (1987 serial), reshaped and drilled)
Gen gaskets
Gen tube + gen crown
Gen tritium dial
Gen tritium hands
Gen datedisc open 6/9
Gen crystal
Gen bezel assembly
Gen insert (nicely faded into dark blue)
Gen 93150 bracelet + gen 593 endlinks + gen springbars
