Thanks again to all who responded to my many questions about my dad's 1601 and its box. I have decided to hang on to the watch.

But there is no paperwork linking the watch to the box (or other documentation/receipts), it is not a common 1601 box/watch "set", and my dad never mentioned the box. Thus I see the watch and box as distinct items, as I believe a Rolex collector/aficionado would due to lack of documentation. Therefore, I have decided to move the box on to a serious Rolex collector via eBay auction. It will be interesting to see what it brings!

Many thanks again!

Well thanks to you and other listees for giving me the bug.

Just what I needed, another hobby/pasttime/fetish...!

Again, sorry about the double post. Can the other be deleted by an admin?

Allright !! Glad to see you are keeping it as well. I think you will be glad you did. I love seeing my brother wear my Dad's old Rolex-which ironically enough is a tutone Datejust Model 1601 like yours. Also from ~1968. Congrats !
