Rolex Datejust 1601 - do I buy?
Hi all,
I'm a new member and a new collector (I do have an IWC Portfino, but I'm foraying into Rolex for the first time).
I've been looking at a decent early-gen Reg 1601 with a white gold bezel and I've found one! I've negotiated an offer of £2.6k, for a model with no box or papers, a clearly replaced PlexiGlass and a probably-replaced Jubilee bracelet given there's no stretch in this one.
What slightly concerns me is how far the lugs protrude over the bracelet and that the watch pins seem to stick out, perhaps a touch over-polished.
I've attached some photos - what do you all think?
