[GGGMT]

Folks: I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and guidance on the originality of this 1601 at Bob's, particularly dial, hands & band:

Looks fine it has a USA oval link 14k trim band

Watch looks great, I have a Stainless Steel version of this watch the band has Made in Mexico and the clasp looks very similar. One note I do find the date wheel a little bit more bolder.

I agree, font is bold and weird, possibly aftermarket

Thank you for your thoughts.
2 questions: 1. This has closed 6 and 9s and Round 3, which I've seen on this serial range in the mid-1960s. Does that seem right to you? 2. When did Rolex stop using these JB Champion USA bracelets on these mid-60s watches?

Thanks again.
