Bexley Bevel Sea Dweller

I joined the forum a while ago but haven't posted much. I though this would be appreciated with an old service card and Rolex polished case.

Was the crystal replaced during the service?

That's taken 'lurking' to a new level I think!

Great watch. Never really looked at a SD, let a lone a vintage but that is beautiful.

Thanks guys.
I sold off some vintage pieces a few years back, a 5513 and two 1675 GMTs (one with PCG)
Fortunately I kept the SD and another 5513 with strange looking hands.

Thanks,
Yes the crystal and bezel were replaced. The previous owner didn't like how sharp it felt and had it filed down to make it smooth?!
The hands have been replaced during a previous service too.
It has box and original papers along with a stack of Rolex service papers.
