The watch was handed down to me by my grandfather. Unfortunately he passed when I was young (I'm 32) and my mom gave me the watch maybe 5 years or so ago. Just either didn't have the additional money to have it serviced or would just forget about it b/c I kept it in a bank.

I wish I had before pics b/c the shop (Frank Adams in Albany, NY) did a really great job. I am also terrible at taking watch pics lol.

1966 Rolex Oyster.

my grandfather also left me his Rolex... they are valuable watches, but when it comes from a family member it is priceless.

Enjoy your new watch, wear it often, and think about your Grandfather every time you look at your wrist.
