This is an R number/dot index model.

The dial of the "Ref.16803" is dark blue and has changed over time.
There are some uniquely altered specimens,
The product we are introducing this time is an exquisite color that is a mix of deep blue and black.

By the way, no violet change was observed even when light was shone on it.

This is a comparison image with Blue Sub Japan/Satuda's beloved camera, "Ref. 16803 (right)".

In the photo, it is the same model "Ref. 16803" that looks almost the same color,
I thought it was interesting because the colors were actually different.
According to Satouda, the specimen we are introducing this time (left) is,
The colour is said to be similar to the uniform colour of the Italian soccer team Inter.
*Please contact Satuda for more details.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The deeply colored luminous index creates an exquisite atmosphere.
The dial condition has changed slightly over time,
There is no unpleasant deterioration and it is in good condition.

The condition of the case and bracelet is good, there are small scratches due to use,
There are no major scratches and it is a very impressive piece.

The middle case is in good condition with no excessive finishing.

As you can see, the hairline and edge lines on the rug feet look great!

The clasp code of the grooveless x goldless buckle is "L9", which matches the era!

The bracelet is slightly warped, but is relatively sturdy.

There is still a reflector seal on the back cover!

Comes with box, warranty card, Submariner booklet (87), and Oyster booklet (87).
The fact that this attractive piece from the 1980s comes with a warranty is a nice bonus!!

Finally, a wrist shot!!
The dark blue x black colour is amazing!
The deep tritium color also gives off a vintage vibe and is very cool!!
