This is truly a stunning piece. So much character!

Beautiful

Thank you everyone for your kind replies

Well what do you know an open "9"

1675TT-Open9.jpg

There is a reasonable amount of stretch in the bracelet so I might send that away to get fixed. I'll probably leave the case as it is, because as soon as I try to clean that up I'll want to get a new bezel insert, then a new bezel and on and on...So I might just leave those alone.

Such an awesome vintage piece, pure tits, love it. Congrats!

mountainjogger · 29 June 2021, 06:50 PM

The color of the date wheel really sets the mood in my opinion. Nice!

1William · 29 June 2021, 09:51 PM

Congratulations.

Lol-x · 30 June 2021, 01:36 PM

The Jubilee bracelet has got push pin fitted extra links instead of screw on optional extra links.
This is the first time I've had a bracelet with this type of extra links. Does anyone know is it easy to remove these links? Do I need a special tool?
Thanks

TimeLord2 · 30 June 2021, 02:53 PM

It's an American made Jubilee oval link bracelet so should have small holes in the side to remove the miniature spring bars on the link. They are not push pins. Very easy to remove. I use the same tool I use to remove the spring bars from the head of the watch. They are quite tiny so it may take you a few minutes to jimmy it back into place if you remove but totally do-able!

Lol-x · 30 June 2021, 03:48 PM

Thanks for that information, but how do spring bars in the bracelet links work? There is just a hole in the link with a bar inside so how does it spring?
Note: I'm not talking about the spring bar which runs in the clasp and has multiple adjustment positions, I'm talking about the links which have tiny holes through them.

emersm · 30 June 2021, 07:34 PM

Congratulations on that beauty!

1675-David · 30 June 2021, 09:01 PM

Supernice!! Great catch

KBM · 1 July 2021, 06:04 AM

Love the nipple dials! That's a stunner, my friend!

SN13 · 1 July 2021, 06:24 AM

God, There is something about those nipples that just.... mmm

I know Rolex doesn't do "Re-issue" but a Maxi Nipple Dial would be tits.

FrenchBigCrown · 1 July 2021, 06:38 AM

Lovely!

Health to enjoy!

Yes. And just like the spring bar in the clasp, and those that attach the bracelet to the head of the watch, there is a little spring bar in the extra link. Just press your spring bar removal tool (or a toothpick or paperclip…) into the little hole on the side of the extra link to compress the spring bar and you should be able to rotate the bracelet a little to remove it. It is very small and short but definitely a spring bar. At least that's how my bracelet works, which is also an American made oval link jubilee. I would take my watch off and remove and photo and post but I am at work at the moment. I found this image on EBAY but only shows the spring bar installed. Beautiful watch BTW!

What a stunner of a watch. Well loved but the lugs are as sharp as you can wish for on a vintage.

I always ran from jubilees in less than ideal condition for fear of it falling off my wrist at any moment. The bracelet on yours looks like it may be due for some revamping, but the character is undeniable.

Almost sacrilege to restore it like an all original Mercedes Gullwing. Have you thought of sending it to LAWW or Rolliworks?

I think they’re better described as pins in the same sense of Omega bracelets.

Great looking watch and dial.

I had one of those older RUSA spec’d bracelets and liked the slinkiness of the drape especially in hot weather. But I wore it loosely.

If you’re handy with a bracelet block and the tool, and use the proper pins, it could be a diy. But I like your initial thought to have it rehabbed by someone with a good bracelet restoration reputation.

Thanks for the insight

Thanks guys so much for your kind appreciation

I'm thinking of sending it to Hong Kong so we'll see...

Congrats Steveo. Nice piece.

linesiders · 6 July 2021, 01:55 AM

Very cool ; )

Shout out if you want to upgrade the insert - I have a spare, very nice condition black / gold Fat Font. I also have the complete bracelet - also stretched - if you need spares - as they are tightened, the size shrinks ; )

I want another one ; )
