Hello again!
My friend offers me a very very very low price a Rolex 16753 with serial number 6.3xx.xxx. The reason: The watch is marked 16753 on case and 16750 on caseback (seem correct) but with a 1675 dial and 1570 movement!. This wath would fit the new 3035 movement.

I read some post that explain first 16753, around 1979 and number serial 6.3xx.xxx would have the old 1570 movement because rolex used this stock movement on the new cases.
What do you think about it?

The second question is... all my vintages watches glow a little but this watch glows very very strong. I don't know if it has luminova because the index doesn't like relumed....

A few photos...

I would guess a Franken watch or a crossover between new model cases and getting rid of older mov't and dials. Why?
16750 were around starting about 1980. The case back marked 16750 as far as I am aware would be on a 16753 case anyway. Much like a 16613 case has a 16610 case back. Dial and mov't go together too. Could be a mix match during crossover period or made up. Not sure but I wouldn't be overly worried if its cheap
Cheers

I think the case back is correct with case number. As far I know the case back is marked 16750 because Rolex used te generic parts to complete its watches
