Model 16030 DJ

I am new to the forum and I have a few questions for all the experts on here. I just bought a 16030 DJ and I noticed the hands are a little messed up (I guess it's due to aging?). Also, I will need to replace the band in the near future due to some stretching. I am wondering, what would I be looking at price wise for the hands and a jubilee band? The AD that I purchased it from said that the crown clasp jubilee band isn't made for my model and is looking into some pricing for the correct band and hands. One last thing, he told me it had a sapphire crystal and had been serviced since they received it. Did this watch originally come with a sapphire crystal or has that been changed?

Thanks for any information.

Why not post some good photos of the watch so we know what we're working with?

16030 does not have sapphire crystal it used plastic crystal number 135 to be exact. Original hands are under 100 dollars, as is the proper cystal for this watch, I would advise you change it back to original specs. A band is approx 1000 new, 400-500 used.

Jubilee bands show up on Ebay quite often.
