I bought my first rolex used from a watch forum. I got a great price.
I researched the seller throughly..and I mean throughly!
My watch was not all that expensive, but I think If I was going to spend a small fortune... I would do it local.
You see how good reps are, I think I would want a higher end watch checked by an ad.
I remember being amazed when I found out the markers were tiny seperate pieces that popped out.
There's a tutorial somewhere that shows them off the dial.
Jmb ...you must have incredible eyesight and steady hands!
Jmb,
I don't know if this is helpful or the correct case, but it's for sale on the vintage rolex forum.
It's a 7928 case

"Interesting dial texture, R."
Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's a metalic brown honeycomb kinda thing
I smashed my camera in my briefcase..so all I have is an Iphone.
Lookin good!
I see PT on here alot, does that refer to the dealer?
My 1680 from Josh needs the holes drilled and difinately did not come with 2mm bars.
I love what you did with the insert, not too bleached as some I've seen.
I'm no expert but have been researching this one.
I think you either settle for the cartel watch with maybe some minor mods, or go the distance and put serious money into it.
Dizzy summed it up
Lookin good Diz! What modifications are you doing to the T 21?
I have a vintage milgauss 6541 coming. It's similar size and wanted to replace the crystal too. I thought the T 21 might be a candidate.
