    I just thought I would post this as I have not in a while. This was an estate watch that I got from the guy who bought it , I am the third owner. The second owner did not wear much as he was a gong-ho Rolex guy . As you can see, it is on a Gold cap BOR ( Beads of Rice Bracelet ) and it is in pristine near NOS condition. While it probably did not come on a beads of rice bracelet, This BOR has become iconic for this watches as well as the early Seamasters. Watch is powered by 505, can't ask for better than that. :D

    Well you know. sometimes you have to use bait$ to catch something. A lure just doesn't cut it. :D

    I always thought - nice, clean original dial is the most important factor but when it is paired with a really sharp, unpolished case you end up with something special.

    Christian, I hope I don't rain on your parade but that dial has been repainted. Otherwise it's a nice looking watch.

    You might be able to get Michael Young to tighten that bracelet back up, he does the Rolex Julibee and President bracelets once they're floppy like that
