I’ve bought this 1016 explorer some years ago
It is a 1.7m serial.
Did the 1016 originally come on a 6251 bracelet?

Thanks

Lovely watch. Nominally, I think it would have come on a rivet or oyster. Also, that appears to be a mid-70s bracelet, IIRC, which would be quite late to be sold with a 1.7M watch.

Yes, I've not come across a documented full set 5210h jubilee on an early white matte 1016 tbh.

Thanks! What does "IIRC" mean?

Hi,

Any date on this bracelet ?
Are you aware of the service dial ?

Kind regards,

Can I check if you’ve spotted it as a service dial from the coronet?

And looking again the E in Rolex is different to the frog foot. I didn’t spot that before. The coronets look similar.

Lume does not look 60s at all, which made me look at the rest of the dial a bit closer.
It is a known service version, made by Stern, most probably late 90s (back of the dial shows the Rolex stamp already with code 1)

Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t spot that but I can see a few differences now.

I agree with that is a lovely watch!
