Rolex 16750 question

[twotonedaytona]

I picked this watch up from a dear friend. It needs to be completely serviced, new Crystal etc.
But I have a few questions. Who would you send it to? And what exactly do I have here? Anything special? Or is it just a run-of-the-mill 16750. Thx

Depends. If you want a vintage-like Pepsi you got it. I prefer to wear a watch that is like new...very handsome. I have a 1978 Pepsi I purchased new in 1981. I wore it every day. I have sent it (and wife’s two-tone date just) to the Rolex Service Center in Dallas. You can get the procedure on the Rolex site. It will take about six weeks and cost you around $1,500 or so. The RSC will keep you informed the whole way and send you the price quote for your approval. It will come back like brand new with a two year warranty card embossed with model and serial number. Others will have advice, but what I would do.

I would have the movement serviced and the hands relumed. The pictures are not great so hard to tell if the dial has any damage. A nice 16750 is a valuable watch these days. I would not send to Rolex but rather a vintage specialist, I have used LA Watchwerks in the past and been happy.

It's a matte dial 16750 which is sweet. One of the earlier ones.

I would not get any parts changed. Just get the movement serviced.

Lume is failing on the hands. I think LAWW can stabilize it and color match the missing portions.

Phillip Ridley is in the Metroplex and he'll do an outstanding job for you.

Any input on its value serviced and ready to go?
