After many hours of reading and looking at photos posted by fellow enablers, I have come to really like the 1601 WG fluted bezel wideboy with the silver dial. I find that particular combination very attractive.

When I do acquire this 1601, it will be my second Rolex but it will be my first foray into the vintage world. Might I add that what attracts me to this particular reference is the price. I think it will be a nice sibling to my GMTc.

So now to the questions:

1. I see a lot of 1601s that are being sold as heads only. How difficult is to source an appropriate bracelet? My understanding is that i can cost between $300 to $500.
2. How difficult is to source an oyster bracelet to fit the 1601? I think the oyster bracelet gives it a modern look. I particularly am fond of the PCL on the oyster bracelet. It provides contrast and gives the bracelet depth and dimension.

Thanks,
Shawn

No pcl bracelet is appropriate for your watch, you can customise it. Crrect bracelet ImageUploadedByTapatalk1423776670.278005.jpg
