Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
The product we are introducing this time is an individual that has the characteristics of the early model!
Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial"
This is an early dial produced up to the S series, and is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" because the number "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to look like a "9".
It is also called "INVERTED 6" overseas.
The buckle is a single buckle.
This particular piece has a clasp code of "N4" so it comes with a buckle that matches the era.
The initial model features:
The single buckle is an essential feature of the “inverted 6” dial.
The inverted 6 dial and matte stainless steel single bracelet give it a retro feel and make it look really cool!
The best thing about this watch is the dial!!
The dial is a rare MK3!
The floating MK1 and 4-line MK2 tend to attract attention, but
This MK3 dial is also a rare dial that is not widely available.
In particular, the MK3 with white lettering is something you rarely see!
The letter in COSMOGRAPH is not far off,
The serifed letters are the same as the MK1, making for a casually cool dial!
The dial condition is excellent,
It is in excellent condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass!!
With such a rare dial, it's great to see it in this condition!
The luminous material is all tritium.
The condition of the luminous hands is also good!
The condition is that there are scratches and scuffs due to use,
There are no noticeable scratches and the condition is good!
Although it has been polished, it is not overly finished and the middle case is relatively sturdy!
As you can see, the lug legs are perfect!
The MK3 bezel is in good condition and has some scratches from use.
There is no sagging around the bezel and it looks great!
Accessories include box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag,
Daytona booklet (USA88), Oyster booklet (ENG90), Calendar (91-92),
We have extra links (full links) and a pass case!
