Guys, i bought it from first owner. Please tell me what do you think? Could you tell me more about this watch - im not good in Rolex
Looks like a very nice set, congrats! Couple of thoughts/comments: - The insert is a cheap stock Rolex replacement, this watch with it's extensive provenance deserves a nicer period correct insert - There are rotor drag marks visible on the inside of the case back. I would have a watchmaker examine the movement to make sure nothing is loose and the problem has been fixed prior to putting it in a regular rotation; - Bracelet is a later replacement as well (1990's) - Lastly, I assume you have checked out the reference numbers to see if they're inline with an MK2 dial (prevalent around 3M serial) Again, it's a gorgeous watch and very nice set, you have done extremely well. Best, -A
Are those service hands? The seconds hand lume looks different to the others. Other than what’s been said it looks good.
A Redback, which is what is period correct for your reference, starts at $1K and goes up from there. I would expect a nice one on average goes for $1500, if you are looking for anything with an even fade, ghost or NOS, expect to pay $2K+. The pics below are NOS, Redback.
I don’t want to be a party pooper but there is no way a RSC would put a 93150 bracelet on a 1675. Dig a little deeper with the first owner. I’m sure the oyster is a 78360 for a GMT. Serial number should be around 3.2mil, it’s also a topic of conversation if Rolex offered the all black bezel back in 71 I know it’s a service replacement and it been commented on previously. Nice red back thick font bezel insert is crying out to be added.
What he told me is that he dont like a pepsi - he was asking for black. The same was with bracelet. How much can be worth this set - it make sense to buy pepsi besel for ca 2k.?
Nice piece, with service bezel insert. Case looks great, with thick lugs. Can you post the first few digits of the serial number. I assume the serial on the watch matches the papers.
Nice pick-up! It’s not uncommon for the seconds hand to have a different shade...I don’t know the reason why. Check out this NOS set of tritium hands for 16570/16550 I picked up Friday as an example:
As others already mentioned: Bracelet is not correct. Bezel is a replacement also. Apart from that: Great purchase. How much did you pay for that - must have been a great price when you say you bought it from the first owner without beeing good with rolex watches...?
Thanks! The serial is 310....First owner bought it in Switzerland when he was working there. Numbers on the watch are same like on the papers
