Something a little different
Hi all
In honor of the New forum. I am wearing a simple Rolex Oyster prep in steel.
This one is from 1964 with a case ref 1018. You do not see too many of these out there today. First of it was not a big seller as most wanted an OP Date . Secondly I think people who wanted to "build" a Explorer 1016 would erase part of the 8 and turn it into a 6. The case is "full size" like the 1016 Explorer. But the 1016 is actually thicker ! ( I will post a comparison shot when I get my camera back from my wife!).
But for today on my wrist is my simple 1018 Oyster prep so call it a Jumbo Oyster. All original to the best of my knowledge I think the buckle is from an earlier age.
The funny thing is when i bought the watch and wore it for a week before I realized the dial has an underline !
Good Hunting
