Thanks for the info.

I was unaware of the font type difference.

I'm always eager to learn.

I'm not interested in the watch and as far as I know it's not for sale. I was just chatting with the guy and giving him some advice on getting service and making a recommendation.

He said he'd called Rolex and they'd quoted him around $600.

He did not talk like a man wearing a fake.

However, there is still the oddity of the solid end-links and the lugholes and the beat rate.

Oh, well. Thanks again for the assistance.
