Yes - all chamfers present and correct. I will take some photos later together with the new strap. The only Rolex service was in 82 and not even the crown was changed so possibly just one minor polish in its lifetime. And yes i was also drooling over Jason's photos

Thanks and yes, inevitably, having gone this far, the collector in me will now start trawling the web and contacts for the remaining items particularly the anchor and booklet. Need to do some research to establish what an absolutely full set would have contained as i have all the hard to find bits thankfully. I can see my watch addiction rising to another new level
