I just purchased a 1985 DJ 16030 and got it checked by my local Rolex AD. He noticed that the seller had the caseback only attached at around 80% (and not with the full pressure Rolex suggests) because if he attaches the caseback as it should the rotor is scraping the caseback. He is suggesting a full service for around 600€ which should fix the problem. Has anyone ever had a similiar problem? Could it be something worse? I still have the option to return the watch, but I really like the model and in general it is in good condition. The seller also offered me a 200€ discount. Looking forward to your feedback!
