Hi guys... Wanna share a joy i had last week when i received my second rolex rootbeer 16713 complete with box and paper. (my first is subc). It is s series, release in 1994 i think. Watch trader said it had been polished once since it was purchased. The watch arrived safely, but i found that the gold plate near the end link is pulled off (as you can see in the picture). No big deal as a super glue will fix such a thing.

Please comment.

Sorry missed 1 more picture.

Im sorry for a terrible picture as im really a bad photographer

Nice pick up. It is interesting to see the plate was off. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Hi. Thanks for the comment. Its all fixed. I just took a picture 5 minutes ago as you can see. A wonderful and super time piece. I was thinking bout this rootbeer. Its between people will like it so much or hate it. There is nothing in between. Am i right? (My wife is the one who hate it though)

Thanks man... I dont see many rootbeer in this forum. It might not that popular before. I checked the paper i got, it has a calender for 1996/97 while this rolex is s series produce in 93/94. So i assume that this watch is out of AD in 95 and sitting out there for a year. Could this be possible??

Hope u can find it too! It is indeed a great looking watch. Been trying to take pictures from different angel but i failed tocatch the real beauty of this time piece. At first i bought this root beer just for a purpose to be different, but now im falling into a deep love with it.

Yes don't see it often, but you've captured that sunburst very nicely.
