    The watch comes with the correct non hacking movement.
    The caseback is stamped 1016 VI. 66

    Nice watch, but "gilt"? Not easy to see...

    What's the production year? Late sixties I'm assuming but do you have an exact year?

    @Nobel Prize Not sure. I am not familiar with Rolex at all and that is why I used previous seller's descriptions...

    Inner case back is June 1966 which also corresponds to the mid case serial number beginning 15xx...

    So you can safely assume it was produced mid-year 1966.
