Those posted were never tightened before, only the 1803 which I sent to MY, yet to see the tightness, standby additional links just in case.

Bro, I'm also thinking of sending my band to him. But unlike ss, MY don't "tighten" the gold bracelets. That's why bracelets after restorations don't feel same as original bracelets.

Pl share pix and also verdict after you receive your band from MY. Thanks bro.

For some reasons, There aren't many 1973 rolexes around... That was also the period where rolex stopped stamping their case back.

Thanks for the good info!

Is that why u rather wear yours loose? Or just remove link?

I wear my DD just a teeny weeny bit loose now which is fine.
If it really stretches more in a few years, i may remove a link.

wearing any bracelet loose will acclerate the degradation of the band. band shd be nice fitting and not dangling like how old uncles are hawker centres wear their watches. Anyway, it is a matter of perferenece and style.

Agreed.
I dont wear it dangling at all.
It's loose in the sense, it is not strangling and generally allows movement but very very minimal.

Rolex Day-Date 6611/B, dauphine hands are simply lovely!! The super slow non quickset 1055 movement is a super pain to set day and date.

That's the fun of having non quickset, its good for old man like me, slowly one step at a time to set the corset day and date.. I enjoy it

I missed out a circa 1962 exactly the same dial as this one, so sad.

1962 would be 1803 and between 1962 to 1965, you might get "non lume cigarette hands" which are also super rare and sweet! Happy hunting bro.
