Sorry meant to say that I agreed with you.

Don't touch dial or hands. Still in good conditions.
Make a good service from a respected watch maker. That's all.
Enjoy it.

I don't care what you call it. Start a separate thread to discuss this topic.

The watch has some serious problems...wrong dial, wrong hands, wrong bezel, should look like this.

Why do they call a 1655 the 'Steve McQueen Rolex' in the first place? From what I understand, he wore a 5512. Shouldn't this particular Rolex model be designated as his namesake if we are going that route?
