Is this a service Luminova dial and hand set?

What do you mean by the service luminova & hand set?
I just got it back from RSC Kuala Lumpur. It was sent for a complete refurbushment. Everything was either replaced or reconditioned.
It cost a bomb but I'm not complaining because I'm very happy with the end result.
Cheers,
Azizan

I think you answered my question: the old tritium dial and hands were replaced with luminova ones. They should glow brightly after exposure to bright light.

What were the charges like and how long did you have to wait?

Great looking watch.

Do you know if those are the original bracelets?
I have an extra set of bracelets that look like that,
and wondered what Rolex model they belong to.

The markings on my clasp say
"STEELINOX"
and
" 4
64 "

The end piece has the number "60 "

It was approximately USD1350 & I had to wait close to 4 months for it.

Yes, it is the original bracelet (the riveted ones).
The RSC guys will not touch it if it's not the real thing. You know how rigid they are on the 'genuine items' policy.
My bracelet is excactly like yours except for the "4 64", I can't find that anywhere on the bracelet.

Cheers,
Azizan

Remarkable for a 45 year old watch, it looks new and just oozes class.

Well, the dial and hands and crystal (and possibly date wheel) are new!
