Vintage COSC Certificate in detail
These old handwritten certificates add to the personal touch and character of a handmade watch, it's a pity Rolex doesn't provide them today.
The certificate below is from a 1967 1016 Explorer. A large detailed photograph can be viewed by clicking the link: http://smoothride.com.au/uploadedFil...24265-9940.jpg

Hey Steve
Is this for your 1016? Ah.....1967 a great year! I may have to buy that from you one day.  Could you just imagine them doing it for 600,000+ watches a year!!! John. |

Sorry John, it's not from my 1016, I could have bought it but I thought about it for a year or so, and in the end I missed out.
I do have a 1016 but it is an "L" serial (1990). You know what they say "You snooze, you loose!" well that's what I did in this case. Oh well next time. |
