I just ended up buying a really nice 16800.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...L:COSI:US:1123

One thing that will have to be taken care of is the flip lock on the bracelet. If you look at picture #15 you will see what I mean. Unlike the bracelet links, which are easily added or removed just by removing a screw, the flip lock is held in by a rivited pin.

A few questions..... where can I source a proper Rolex flip lock, and can I remove and replace the old one without any specialized tools? Is this a do it yourself project or something that has to go to someone with the proper tools?

Thanks.....
