a watch passed down from my dad....
his very 1st Rolex when he became a towkay more than 25 years back...
and now it has become my ONLY Rolex...

he gave me this watch a few years back. originally came with a jubilee bracelet but doesn't look nice on me.
so i changed it a a lizard strap when i sent it in for service in 2006. still kept the bracelet though....
dont know exactly what model it is, so need LaoJiaos here to enlighten. hehehe...thanks!!! below are the pics

whose wrist was used in the photo?

[Darkangel]

It spells 16013 to me....actually...bro you can check it out yourself also.

At the 12 o clock position that side...in between the lugs...the model number is stated there. Try peeking in or remove your leather strap.

Anyway...very nice watch in great condition and nice strap you got there

thanks! saw some numbers but bloack by the straps...

the case, the markers and the crystal (its actually some kind of plastic) was changed back in 06 when i sent it to rolex centre for servicing. The whole service package with all the parts cost me $700+ (excluding the straps and buckle).

The crystal is Acrylic crystal. Not bad price lehs...I paid $751 for a SS Jubilee bracelet man,just the bracelet!
