Lightly faded red and blue so called "Pepsi" bezel. WIth period Rolex SS rolled link jubilee bracelet dated 1966.

Hi Fabio, it sounds like a nice watch, but I think before anyone can answer your question you may need to post some photographs.

Welcome to TRF.........

I see a scratch on between 1 and 3 can't say from the picture whether it is on the dial or on the crystal

I would tend to think so. This is getting to the last of the gilt dial era though the mini hand was correct for a matt/white for a while longer.

I've seen gilt/gloss in the 1.44 mil range, though with Rolex it's always tough to say when something started and stopped. When the case was used can have a bearing on what dial was available at the time.

With Rolex there is always a crossover. In any event the case and lugs look very nice and the patina is a wonderful match. That it comes with the extra's is such a bonus.

Great watch, and with a great package. The dial/hands are correct and I doubt that late of a watch would have the gilt dial.

Only thing wrong is that it isn't in my collection. Looks like a nice set!!!!
