Hi,

I have a 16014 (8.2 mil) from my grandpa some 15 years ago. He bought it for 1.7K in 1980. I saw the receipt but has since lost the all box and paper. Send to RSC for overhaul then and cost me 1K. A little corrosion on the dial but RSC say they cannot replace it as no more such dial, even 15 years ago. Now, original bracelet also very loose.

Anywhere I can fixed this or try RSC again? Not thinking of selling as it a pass down and it pobably won't fetch much too.

Any advice?

They said they going to have a check. what else to check when you mix the thin bracelet and new thick bracelet. what make me so was nobody tell me before i part with the cash. For the first 1 or 2 months i thought it was normal. Then i look at the watch, kinda too loose at the top and bottom link of the watch that flush with the case to the bracelet.

Darkangel if you flip the back of your watch, you can see if your brand new jubilee is fitted with a num 555, and you see the old thin one 55.

[Darkangel]

Oh yes that's right...new 1 is 555..

First i found non quickset date problem before fully wind it jump, turn full 12hrs another 9-10hrs before 12 it jumps reached 12hrs it doesn't. Send it down to the shop now ok, so far haven't occur.

Second end piece loose, found out it wasn't for this bracelet model, replaced with correct one by the preown watchshop, surface was so scratch, i send it down to polished it at my own cost.

Thirdly spring bar for end piece one was for 1601 and the other not was told for rolex kia. Had it replaced at my own cost. Original 1601 spring bar both side got spring. Can be compress.

Now everything seem to be alright, again i lost faith in the watch what more not belong to this watch.

Polished and replacement of spring bar i get it done by someone experienced and have good knowledge in rolex.

Now i wanna know whether this 1601 is using 1570 rolex movement.

Somemore i bought the watch from a singapore registed company.

This company give me zero confident.

I wanna get the case back gasket replace and at the same time check by experience rolex guy. At first i don't see the need to get it check by anyone or rolex centre now my heart is tell me better check.

[Darkangel]

Where did you buy from? I think I did ask you...but cannot remember though

[damienloh]

Re

In end get rolex centre to check. Got a cloth and a green pouch and service invoice. Told me everything original. Ask the malay girl what movement inside ah i got my ans. 1570.
