Several months ago I left my Rolex Root Beer 1675 in a RSC for a complete service, it was finally delivered to me a few days ago, the owner of the RSC is a friend of mine and he promised me that he would not change any aspect that would devalue the piece. I am not a lover of Vintage Watches but little by little I am starting to love it. The only thing that i notice On the bottom right of the dial it has very tiny small white spots but I think it is due to the years.
Here are some pics.

Very nice. Love those chamfers! They didn't change the hands, did they? Hard to tell from the photo lighting.

That Jubilee bracelet looks silky AF

. Does it feel like it needs tightening, or is it OK?

Wear it in good health.

The bracelet its really good light and confortable. They told me that they didnt change the hands. Here are some pics of the hands and the parts that they changed. Let me know if the hands are the originals please. Thanks for youre comments.

Wow, that is a handful of parts and your watch looks great! The hands do look original, at least to me. Springer is definitely the resident expert and hopefully he will weigh in. Yours looks just like mine, bracelet, and clasp but I am loving that faded half and half insert and may have to try and source one at some point. Mine with the all brown insert meant for a 1675/8.

Lume on the hands is very white, and does not appear to match the patinaed lume on the dial. My vote is the hands have been replaced at some point in their life.

Nice watch.

How does one own a Rolex Service Center?

L.K Johnson · 30 November 2021, 07:52 AM

Very nice! Never realized how cool matte brown is!!

Did you mean to say that the white spots on the dial appeared after RSC service?
