I need advice please........
Hi Guys,
I need some advice please. I recently bought this 1981 16753 which came as head only, no bracelet or leather band etc. I own a genuine set of 450 end links (2.0mm pins) and I also have an aftermarket (fake, tribute, replica, whatever term you would like to use) Jubilee bracelet. As you can see, I have combined the two and have been wearing the watch as is......... Super accurate. It’s only gained 4 seconds in 7 days. I love the watch and bang for my buck I think it’s fabulous. 35 year old Rolex to boot! Nipple dial. Now, I can source a genuine 1993 Jubilee bracelet of a 16713 (stamped 50) and use my 455 end links to make it fit perfectly for about US$1000.00, but that’s around 30% of what I paid for the watch! My heart wants to do it as I’m uncomfortable wearing it with a non genuine bracelet but as a daily beater, my brain says don’t spend the money. I’m not sure if the watch would be worth an extra $1000 with the genuine bracelet but I figure if I did want to sell it, would make life a lot easier. I’m not interested in a leather band so it simply has to be the above two options. What would you guys do? Your comments are greatly appreciated. Bob.: |
