I was just idling perusing the internet and this popped up.

http://www.chrono24.co.uk/rolex/oyster-perpetual--...

Aside from stating it is an Oyster Perpetual - what other details does anyone know of model? My Spanish is poor, but I have tried every number on the advert to find more information out, but to no avail.

Unfortunately I think 36mm is too small for me - but I find the Dial really interesting. No idea if an original or a bodge though! smile

It's a 116000 Oyster Perpetual, they did make them with that style face for a while but they weren't very popular and were discontinued.

If you search on 116000 oyster perpetual Concentric dial that should give you all you need to know.

Thanks for that - I had trued the 116000 search - but all I seem to find is normal dials when searching. i.e.

I will keep looking, as you say if they were only manufactured fleetingly perhaps that is why so hard to find anything about. I really like it.

It's a Concentric dial, if you look for that you'll find it no problem.

Won't fit well on your gorilla wrist! Too small for me as well.

You're a Deepsea kinda man.
