Thanks
I wear it quite alot, and i love it.
Its not the brand name that draws me to them, but to actually think that human beings can be some meticulous and make something with their own hands that works this well.
I love mechanics. and the core of the watch is a marvel to me.
Not to mention I look pretty damn good wearing it.
And i picked it up for 1900... Not bad way under what i was expecting to spend.
I appreciate the welcomes and will surely be posting on here often.
Its nice to know that theres other people who share the love and understanding for a Rolex.
One question though.
It gets about 130-140 degrees here in the middle east in the summer.
Will than have any effect on the watch?

Hah
Hopefully not. its a ref 1601 i believe. Uh this may sound really dumb but.. These are dust/dirt proof correct?
With an oyster...
so long as it has been checked to make sure seals are fine etc, it is waterproof...and to my mind that has to imply dust-proof too. If the watch is in good condition, then I really dont think you have any worries on dust. On temperature, I can see how ext...
Seals are good.
It was serviced about 2 months ago prior to my purchase. Waterproof and all... I just wanted to make sure. Cant be too careful.
In which case...
i revert to my previous answer...you will conk out before it does. Again, many congratulations.
