Greetings,
You mean damage to my wallet? Quite a lot to it. As to the watch, it is mint. The previous owner probably has not wore it more than 10 times. Enjoy...

Excellent photo and amazing watch.

The 1016 has a magical looking dial.

That has to be my favorite Rolex watch. I think the gilt dial adds more class to the watch than any other feature. When I own one I will enjoy it just as much as you do. Congrats!

That is a gorgeous watch! You will love it. I have one that belonged to my dad. He bought it new in 1967.

Greetings,
You should then look for a good condition vintage 1016 too. It looks even better. Enjoy...
