Barn find ...or rather ...Garage sale find

[TempoKing]

Another diamond of a find from a Weston Florida garage sale.

Weston is as an affluent Venezuelan/Colombian suburb where English is spoken widely...lol
I do not feel like carrying my passport when I go there.....
The good part is... you will not go hungry in a Weston restaurant because
you do not speak Spanish !! ...But trust me you will..if you visit a bit further
down the road as in Doral or Hialeah...more of a Cuban/Dominican/Haitian
story there, where English (?) draws a blank...most of the time

As I do not have anything else to do I go all over the place in search
of a garage sale and there are plenty.

This Serpico y Laino Rolex 1601 datejust came from such a sale.
Serpico y Laino founded in 1925 from Leopoldo Serpico and Vincent Laino
in Caracas-Venezuela, where they were the exclusive resellers of Patek
and Rolex. The company closed its doors in the late 1960's.

I am going to fully service this little.. all original diamond of a watch.. with
a full "spa" treatment to boot.

By the way...inside the buckle where the bracelet slides, there is a hand
engraved number 6860 ?...Any idea why or what for ?
