This 1625 is probably what you are used to seeing.

jdmi32 - I'm frothing over this 1600! Love it! Is that a black dial or the slate grey? Would you be able to tell me the bracelet and end-link codes for the 1600 oyster bracelet?

Thanks

16030 gets a jubilee! I've been scurrying around buying vintage jubilees because they are getting ridiculous and rare so when I spot a bargain I scoop it up. Got this one last night, it's an A which I believe is about 1976. That pic is not lying flat, its balanced on that white marble, no stretch!



It's going on my beautiful 16030 Roman, perfect combo!




my first post with imgur, couldn't even get PB to load today!

Beautiful tritium grey dial and I remember I missed a chance to acquire the similar dial like yours many years ago and I hope to find one in complete set soon in future.

I only have the tapestry silver dial 16030. It has the same engine tuned bezel like yours

Thank you! I love the grey dial, it took a while to find but well worth the effort. Your tapestry dial is great looking as well.

My newly purchased 1603 w/ Silver Linen Dial circa 1965. It took a long time to find this guy but it's exactly what I wanted. First and only Rolex so far, but definitely not my last!
