Splendid, rare, valuable . . . even if it hadn't come with the lovely accessories.
Congratulations indeed.

I just can't stand the rattle and when the end links make contact with engravings. I've seen how people manipulate and bend. I've never been successful... Thanks for the cork tip. I started a toothpick thread several years ago. |

Thanks all for the very kind words. Nice to have something so complete. I had my watchmaker replace the back gasket and the crown gasket. Despite being rolex service parts. .. they were 48 years old. I did get a good picture of the case back internals while the watch was apart.
