Honestly I do not think I am going to mess with it. Since I got it from the original owner who purchased in 1966 it has a cool story. The bracelet was changed by rolex when it fell off his wrist on an oil rig here Texas. He paid a diver to go down and find it.

I would have done the same.
Long 5 bezel, working movement, plus case/bracelet more than make it worth while to me.

Congrats on your purchase. That's a great story, and I hope you will enjoy wearing the watch.
