New 1016 very late L serial sold in 1990
Just got this today from Michael M. My first 1016 and couldn't have gotten a better example. Thanks Michael and looking forward to enjoying it!
Crisp and unpolished with perfect case back sticker entact.

Wonderful Ken. I picked up a 1016 from Michael recently also. First class watches with matching service. Congrats on a fine looking 1016.

Beautiful! You know Ken, I really like the direction you've taken your collection lately. The 16600, the 16710 (with the 3086 movement), the others, and now this. These discontinued beauties may not be the first thing that comes to mind when discussing vintage Rolex. However, at this stage they may have indeed crossed over into vintage territory. For me, these were the watches I once drolled over in their cases when visiting the AD. It wasn't that long ago, yet sure enough, one by one they all dissapeared only to be replaced by the super-cased ceramic monstrosoties that we see now. Don't get me wrong, I love those too, just not on this particular forum! Anyway, big congrats!

Hey Ken, I actually picked up a complete set circa 1978/79 from Michael. Not unpolished but pretty darn close from all the comparisons I made with unpolished examples (like your exquisite example). It's got wonderful patina as well and the watch is even better in person than Michael's pics (if that's even possible lol). Your example is just pristine and I'm glad it went to a good home my man, keep rockin' with that fine taste of yours....I'll never forget your pics of the DD40 that mesmorized me to get mine.
