First Vintage Rolex Incoming!
I've been searching for my first vintage Rolex for the past 6 months or so. I came across this 1655 that looked amazing and had to have it. It just arrived today, and I'm loving it so far! It looks to be in fantastic condition for a watch that is 37-38 years old.

LL, that pic is prolly WYSIWYG. Tritium likely to have died out awhile back, so little to no glow in the dark.
