Another 1016 question

[bigfatpauli]

Hello,

I have this 1016 that I am interested in buy from a dealer. They have been around for 35 years and guarantee authenticity so I'm not too concerned about that. It's an 8 mil serial and the numbers are really crisp. It runs really well and winds as smooth as one would expect from a Rolex of this age.

What they don't guarantee is that if everything is original. To me, it looks like the original hands dial case and crystal (albeit the crystal is cracked on 4 o'clock) but I wanted to get the forums input as you all know far more about this stuff than I. Is there anything that you see that I should be aware of before taking the plunge?

The dial is really in perfect shape, anything you see is on the crystal.

Any help/advice at all would be greatly appreciated!!











Thank you so much.
