Bluesy Arrived!
It's finally here. Here are some pics:
On the timegrapher it is running -2.7/day, not bad (within COSC). Here are the lug widths: ul 2.40 ur 2.38 ll 2.47 lr 2.42 So some polishing has occurred, but it was done very well. No excessive changes to dimensions. The dial, insert, and hands all appear to be RSC service replacements, can't wait to test the lume. The crystal has the coronet etched at 6:00 which is also an obvious service replacement giveaway (and a nice touch too, I might add). It's cooking in the pressure tester at 6 bar right now, should know if it's water resistant in a few minutes... |

Just passed 6 bar pressure test. I'm thinking of bumping up the rate a bit. But I might just wait until I service it. This won't be a daily beater.

Here it is with little brother 16013 (my daily beater). Thinking of getting a 16220 as a beater, or possibly a 1601 non quickset. Will keep my eye out.

It's brother says hello from MN!
Personally, I think changing this iconic blue color was a HUGE mistake by Rolex. Don't know that I have ever seen a better, more beautiful blue dial on any watch past or present. Still love mine as much as the day I got it a LOOONG time ago! Congrats on your addition and may it give you as much joy as mine has given me.
