Very interesting Jocke
Is my recollection correct that you got a dark blue dial 1601 Date-Just and you were going to refurbish it? |

You have bigger wontons than me. Make holes in people; they heal! Doing that with a classic old watch would scare the living !@#$ out of me. Top marks for the job and better marks for doing it.

Jocke
That was great, I know so very little about the classics. What does a Rolex like that go for? |

Thank you all for the kind words and here is some
answers at your questions. Indra, nothing done with the hands and of course I was not scared.  Lol-x, I believe you thinking about my TT OysterQuartz Tardis, I use "Rodico" it´s near to "Blue Tac". Tombstone, this watches are cheap, maybe around $500-$1000 if I should guess. Jocke |
