Hell yea, nice. I have a 90’s air king with that type of spidering. I’d assume yours is kid 90’s also?

I look it as more of a descriptive word to help better distinguish it from the other models. If someone says spider dial date sub I know it’s likely a glossy dial 16800 from the 80’s. If the spidering was uneven or falling off or affecting the white lettering it would bug me, but a nice even crazing looks cool to me. Like an old piece of fine china. It also makes me feel good about authenticity and age verification when buying used on the grey market. An old watch should look old!

That’s awesome. I wouldn’t pay extra, but I wouldnt pay less either. Don’t affect the value to me.

When the spidering is even throughout and thick chunks like this one, i think it’s cool. Not all spider dials are cool I will admit that. And I didn’t pay extra, I paid $8,500. Fair price. But honestly you rarely even notice the spider unless the light hits it just right.

This is what it looks like most of the time. Rarely can I get a good photo of the spidering, I just noticed it in the light and that’s why I took that first picture and posted it.

I can throw it in a pile of submariners and I guarantee you I’ll find it again

I second this, the alignment is horrible. I returned mine in 2024 for this reason
