Forgive me as you've probably been asked this many times before, but as a new member I was wondering if someone could fill me in on the many Rolex abbreviations used on the site. For example, today's thread re "LV's" (?). I get most of the model designators and "AD," but some of the others I don't.

Second question: yesterday the question was raised re the value of an older Explorer and someone (maybe Bo, I forget) suggested that if it was a 1610 it might be valued at upwards of $5k. I have one just like the poster showed in his pic's, but the caseback has no marking/number on it and the bracelet's been replaced. How might I make the determination. I believe it's a 1968.

By the way, you all have a very nice "tone" on this forum.

Thanks for your help.

As for the model number and serial number of your watch, you need to take the bracelet off and find the numbers engraved against the case.

Welcome to TRF, Tom!

Just note that some of the abbreviations here are "home made".

Meaning basically that you'd not see some of the abbreviations (like "LEC", for instance) used on other watch forums. Just in case you write "LEC" somewhere and people go "huh?"
