Hi

I have the possibility to buy the attached watch. It’s from 1997. Do you guys with trained eyes think it looks good?

See link for high resolution pics:

Looks good but not sure of the " swiss" only dial , I thought these were only fitted on late 98-99 models , or it's a service dial . Could be wrong though , but as everything it all depends on the price .

Dial has been changed, and possibly the hands. Can’t see whether the lugs have any chamfer left or not ?????

Hi,

Thanks! my mistake, its from 1998

It is common for Rolex Service Centers to offer a dial an hand change for watches with “T” dials. The dial change should not be a concern in your decision making.

I have 16700 Swiss only dial from 1999, and when I did quick comparison, your Pepsi insert look very different from mine.

I agree, difficult to assess and I won’t be able to see it live before purchase as it is in a different city.

Price is 6800usd.

That changes things !

Dial and hands are probably ok.

Assuming all is okay with it, you are getting a great model....good luck!

The dial is correct for the watch. It should be Luminova. There is nothing wrong with the insert either.
