Any watch people here???

Thanks for the advice. Guess I'll just put it up and leave it alone. The band isn't Rolex, it use to have a leather one and I put that one on when the leather fell apart. Maybe I'll trade it to someone who collects watches for a gun.

There are so many little things that make or break the value of a vintage Rolex. Do your research before servicing, polishing, or replacing anything.

My brother-in-law's uncle bought a Bakelite Sub when he graduated from West Point and wore it in Vietnam. A few years ago his wife sent the watch in to be serviced by Rolex and they replaced the Bakelite. That service cost about $40,000 in value to the watch. It doesn't really matter because the watch is not for sale, but damn.

man- id give my left nut for one of the brittish ministry of defense issued submariners. Unfortunately, I think I would have to sell a kidney.

I just got a Ball Engineer.
This one is a "Hydrocarbon: Spacemaster Glow ".

There are tritium tubes in the seconds/ minutes markings, numbers, and hands.

This is my first swiss watch.

Nothing $125.00 can't fix

It's sad really, I still haven't taken time to have it fixed because none of my local jewelers have ever worked on one apparently
