JoJo35 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 One good thing about the recent economic turn down, the price of vintage gens is slowly dropping. I wanted to share a recent acquisition of mine: a watch which has been a long time favorite, and one which I have been searching for a long time. This past summer, I had the pleasure of spending some time with a visiting member in NYC, and admiring his beautiful gen sub. Ever since that day, I knew I had to have one. Below are a few pics of my two transitional gens, a 16800 and a triple six. I just got the sub today, which is gorgeous IMO. This is a gen matte dialed sub with low 7 mil serial #s, and came complete with box and papers. Hope you enjoy the pics. I'd love to see any other transitional reps or gens other members may have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First pictures courtesy of bruce79 Mine I love the patina of the indexes on this gen dial. Gorgeous 16800 vly! You gotta love this period of transition: a slowl break away from years of 1680 style, yet not quite as modernized as the 16610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
