Congratulations! A real stunner!
I have the MK1 white as well, so I know exactly how you feel when you look at it

I have got addiction issues with the particular watch. I have been a vintage watch man since birth just didn't know about it up to a few days ago. Apologies for bombarding you with photos.

I stand by my initial assessment of the watch. After seeing the additional photos, would add a huge congratulations for landing that one. The case looks very nice with fat crown guards and sharp chamfers on the lugs...and with papers as well. You did very well.

Oh thanks John!
Thanks to your assessment and that fantastic "vintage purchase guide thread" i decided to pull the trigger. Many thanks man! There is a reason why this forum is great. Members like yourself add quality and value to this place. This watch is a great way of introducing myself to the world vintage Rolex and - i will say it again - also thanks to you

Thanks buddy. I think so yes. But I wouldn't mind an expert's opinion.
