A Polar 16750 that's a little different: this watch features rare "Tritinova" dial: a “T<25” dial indicating tritium, yet with brightly glowing lume. This is where Rolex used existing tritium-marked dials but filled them with the newer Luminova mixture during a very narrow window between 1998 and 1999.

The watch itself is in great condition. The case has only been lightly polished in the past, with the crown guards and lugs remaining very close to factory thickness. The original full-link 78790 bracelet shows only very light stretch. The dial is flawless, with the lume still glowing brightly after exposure to light.
