I am new to the forum.Hello to all.Recently acquired online for under $5400. 1985 Gmt 16753, root beer with jubilee. It a beautiful work of art and...engineering. This vintage rolex is a keeper.Unless one of you experts discover the flaws or maybe even tell me is a fake. Did I over paid?Was I taken for a ride?. I really don't have an idea. At the end, my son will keep it in the family as a remembrance of my good taste or naiveness! Any coments are more than welcome. Saludos TRF!

Mr. H.Cubano de familia asturiana. We used to live in Spain from 1969 to approximately 1973. My father gave me a Citizen watch at 9 y/o and a Omega seamaster at 11y/0. That Omega was bought in Ceuta. I wonder if the Omega was ever genuine, but never gave me trouble while swimming. Got loss like everything else in a childs hand. Saludos

Mr H. How can you tell it was not polished?I am in kindergarten land (parvulos) at TRF Rolex school.!

slcbbrown · 16 October 2011, 05:48 AM

My very first Rolex was a 1973-ish rootbeer. Still a favorite.

By the thickness of the lugs, perfect brushed finished and the chamfers. Also the shape and thickness of the crown guards is immaculate. I am also of Cuban descent with family from Tenerife and Santander.
