Long story short, I'm a young watch collector who just hit the Rolex jackpot. My uncle gave me his vintage Rolex for my 30th birthday; which turned out to be the "Steve McQueen" Explorer II. He had no idea what he was passing down (neither did I) until I brought it in to a local Rolex expert. After learning the value and rarity of the watch, I felt obligated to offer the watch back to my uncle - lucky for me, he let me keep it.

Any general information or advice on restoration would be greatly appreciated. One concern I have is all the readings I've come across, say the Steve McQueen 1655 made its debut in 1971, this watch was produced in 1969 (serial number 277XXXX). Is this a good or bad thing?

Thank you in advance for the guidance!
