First two tone watch....
I just picked this up, I obtained a new crystal and got a waterproof test. It keeps great time, and looks great on a leather strap...
This watch had been sitting in a drawer for over twenty years, so I will have to do a full service at some point. For now I am going to enjoy my entry into the two tone Rolex world...I believe I am really lucky to find a 1980 year watch that looks this good.... Man, this watch is comfortable on the wrist...!

The case is a 16013; the dial/movement are from an older (non-quickset) datejust, but I still like it...

It sure is a nice Frankenwatch and I always liked the pie pan dial.
It just looks like its not a tight fit, but could be the photos |
