Just arrived a pure 6569
I am a fan of vintage sport rolex but since this pure watch is in my collection, i have much more appreciation for clean simple vintage rolex.

Thank you for the clasp pics. Is the watch dated 1962 on the paperwork and by serial number?

Yes i understand, but sometimes you have to be happy and not too critical on what you get offered otherwise you will never get a collection.

You should see my watches, the 5513 I'm wearing today was purchased from Jacek for a modest sum back when, and it's like the proverbial Grandpa's Axe. I'm pretty sure the case, caseback, and most of the movement are from the original watch - but most of the rest has all been replaced at service in the intervening fifty years!

Nice 6569, lovely set
