Its a 3912xxx serial numbered watch, so right around the time of red to white transition. It was a white 1680 when I bought it new from my AD. MK1 dial and Rolex luminova
service hands that were relumed with dead tritium and tinted to match by Phillip Ridley. It isnt perfect but I love the watch and will never sell it.

I’m thinking of joining the vintage but quite confused on which to get. I’m a lover of explorer so I’ll prefer 1016 ref. Any suggestions?
