I was thinking of purchasing a 114060.... then i found this.

Pulled the trigger on this.



all original, no replacements.

I'm beyond excited.

 

I think you made a great choice on a discontinued reference. Great, classic proportions and what looks to be an awesome patina. Enjoy it!!

 

Thank you so much.

 

Gorgeous patina, @sdre! Congrats, buddy!

 

Good looking watch. [emoji106]

 

Thanks @sensui your advice has been immense for me. @Dial & Bezel Thanks alot brother. My first raw selvage jeans, and now my first "vintage" rollie.

 

Haha. That's great news, @sdre! Two pick ups in a week. What could be better!

 

Congrats, that looks amazing !

 

most beautiful! What did you pay and what year is it?

 

I got it from jacek at hqmilton. He posted on Ig and we dealt there via email.

6800 usd, which was within my budget. It's a 1991 model, which is nice, cause I remember talking about the gulf with my dad. It was a memorable year when US invaded Iraq to free Kuwait.

 

perfect. I saw that ome too but living in Europe would have ment massive customs and vat on top..

 

Yeah can't wait to get my hands on this.

 

Good pick! Either one of them would have been good but this would have also been my choice! By far the number1 "tool watch". Congratulations

 

Great choice. Dial in immaculate condition. So is the case. Looks like previous owner took very well care of his/her watch. Wouldn't be surprised if it was sold with papers and box. was it?

 

Oh no it's watch only. No box no papers. =)

 

Congratulations! Sharp case and beautiful patina.

 

Beautiful. A much nicer choice, imho. I'm currently looking to do the same, as I want a date complication, but don't love the cyclops. Congrats!!

 

16600 is a beautiful watch; I'd take it any time over a Sub!!!! Congratulations!!!!

 

So received it today.

Looks to be in superb condition. However I'm experiencing a problem.

I tried to adjust the time and the crown slips a little then it completely has zero movement on the hands. I took a video to demonstrate.

I've emailed Jacek about it,as he assured me that the watch has been looked at regarding gaskets etc.

Edit: Jacek has been very kind to offer to pay for the repairs to the crown slipping. I'll be heading down to my watchmaker to have it checked out. I'll update later in the day [emoji4]

Edit it: my watchmaker found 3 broken wheels aka half the teeth has broken off. Repairs are about 220 USD.

I asked Jacek if he's fine with it or if he prefers it to be done at Rolex service center Singapore.

Kinda surprised that he shipped the watch so fast without adjusting the time or servicing it.

 

beautiful watch with great patina
