Rolex 16018

[limboonlee]

Hi,

My father have a 16018 without the original bracelets. Does anyone have an idea what is the cost if I want to install back the original bracelets, and what choose do I have?

My father brought this watch almost 20 years ago. What is the rough price for this watch at that time, and what is the price now?

Thanks a lot.

I don't know. The existing bracelet is not the original, it is custom made from Poh Heng Jewellery, based on the receipt that is in the watch box. He got it pre-owned.

1k per link..... wahhhh

Is it possible to put TT bracelet?

Maybe should put a leather strap. Saw a picture online of 16018 with leather strap, looks very nice too.

Thanks DarkAngel, thanks for the reply.

Hi Darkangel,

If the watch does not have original bracelet, will RCS reject if I bring it in for servicing? Any alternative? Eg remove the bracelet and just bring in the body... will RCS accept?

Also, where would you recommand if I want to get a leather strap. Read in this forum that Top Hour is quite good, can go?

Thanks in advance.

Remove the bracelet...you still get to keep it.

Bring in body safer....u bring the non original...hehe no idea if u can get it back

Top Hour is gd
