Where I bought it. Off it went to Dalton.

The bracelet was stretched beyond repair so I have it on a strap.

Looking Goood. Nice to see it brought back to pristine condition. Love those pie-pan dials.

Looking good! I must say your photo skills are better...

Dalton · 12 July 2009, 01:52 PM

Hats off Brian! I'm glad you opted to leave the case as is. The new crystal and rugged case is great combo. The strap looks good too.

pz93c · 12 July 2009, 02:22 PM

Thanks, y'all.

Great watch. for me there is nothing better than a vintage Rolex!!!

CKLinLA · 12 July 2009, 11:56 PM

It looks absolutely great.

Am I right to think this bezel is a less common than the 'usual' smooth fluted bezel?

While its a shame the bracelet could not be saved, the DJs do look very classy on a strap.

I don't know. Never looked.

When a 6 or a 9 come around, I'll look.

Looks very nice. I am glad it is back in the pink.
