1803 Day date

Was never a fan of linen dials but I loved it when I saw it.

Thanks so much, this 16800 is my daily watch (since about 3 years). I do think the case has been polished in the past but it is still is in beautiful condition. The insert is pretty special I think.

And you are right that this thread is indeed full of drool worthy grail watches, the best of vintage

Just in. "New," ok, ok 60 year old clasp. 1958 just like the watch!



There was a 93150 locking clasp on the rivet bracelet when I acquired the watch.

This clasp has the HUGE ROLEX logo.



Back together..... this thing is ON FIRE!
