A real good choice. White dial (probably cream by now) or black?

Its great you’ve had it a long while. In my opinion, you bought it when no one knew what they were - it’s fact actually. A transitional from 1655 to 16750.

If your need to sell is greater than your wish to keep, consider what you’d be happy with bottom line because you will certainly make a good profit. But if you’re comparing yours with non-service examples, you’ll be disappointed.

•maybe not your fault it has service parts
•if it was in your hands and you didn’t give Rolex instructions NOT to change this or that, well, you have learned something

Ultimately, you will not have lost anything having made what should be in the region of a few thousand if you have the original accessories.

• inner and outer box have value
•booklets are rare and valuable
•tags are rare and valuable

If an offer is acceptable, for the watch, boxes and paper then negotiate a separately for price for the accessories. You don’t have to sell it as a bundle as you’ll be giving them away and that person will sell accordingly.

Research your items thoroughly if you’re not in a rush.

Research research research.
