1962 1016 Rolex Explorer

My late dad's 1016 Rolex which he bought new from the Naafi in Singapore in November 1965 but was certified June 1962.

He wore it day and night apart from holidays when he left it at home and now I wear it day and night as well. Still going strong although it does gain a couple of minutes a month and is probably in need of a service.

Currently with a replacement strap but the original is shown in pic 1 & 2. It had stretched after about 40 years and was replaced. I think a company in the US does refurbish so that the strap comes back nearly as good as new so I may look to do this and put the original back on in the future. I think the crystal was replaced at some point as the current one, although acrylic, is a fairly flat dome with a bevelled edge. He only ever used Rolex themselves or a Rolex Dealer to do the repairs. Would Rolex has kept service records at all?

Nice 1016 and family heirloom. Get the rivet bracelet refurbished by Michael Young in Hong Kong.

Rolex won't give you service records. They've done countless millions globally and don't offer that info.
