Boy, some photos would help here.

Agree....I will try and get some tomorrow.

A refinished dial will really diminish its value but you can find a replacement unmolested dial for $500 or less. You can also have a new one printed on your blank for not too much from a very VERY good dial guy. It will still be refinished but nearly indistinguishable from the original. Do you even care about this? Is it an investment to be resold later? Or a keeper?

Im looking at this as a keeper/investment.

Does it quickset? Meaning does it have the correct movement?

It does have the quickset

Is it head only or does it come with a gen bracelet?

Comes with gen bracelet, not the jubilee though.

Does it have any provenance from the AD to vouch for its history?

Not sure on this....will check tomorrow.

It should have a plexi crystal and matte dial... are these present?

It does have the plexi crystal....matte dial is there as well....

If all these check out I'd say you have a good deal there!

Photos please?

I will try my best.

Thanks for the response Nanuq

Guys,

Need a little help here. I have an opportunity to purchase a 16750 w/pepsi bezel from a local jeweler for $2500. The serial number starts with 66 and after checking references, that would indicate a 1980-81 model with the quick set functionality. It has been serviced by a Rolex AD and also has had the dial redone and a new raised crystal (I believe its mineral) installed. I see some models going for approx. $5k on the 'bay, but want to confirm I may have a deal here. From all indications, it seems that this jeweler does not realize what he has (he indicated it was a late 80's model to me). I have opened it up and inspected the movement, from what I can tell, it is all legit. Please lend me your thoughts.......it will be greatly appreciated.

grail watch....grail watch...grail watch......

It's a WRAP, 35-3 Win for the Trojans...USC is looking good!

A dominant victory for USC.....your D is sick.

Sanchez looks like the real deal, and TOSU chokes again......

I am impressed with the dynasty that Carroll has put together, hopefully we (Miami) can get back to that point....

Congrats, USC is clearly the class of this year's college football teams.......

I would be interested in a few as well....

i freakin hate usf

have for a long long time.

we havent been able to crack that nut

USF goes as their QB Groethe goes.....get pressure on him and they are toast. Oregon did it against USF in the Sun Bowl and they smoked the bulls (something like 56-20). Honestly though, Id rather be playing USF than what we have for our 2nd game, Gators in the Swamp. 23 days till opening kickoff.......

The U is going to be whomped by UCF this year and i'm going to be there to watch

FIRST NFL game was last night - its like heroin in the veins

FYI, miami should have taken colt brennon - he throws the ball pretty

Never. We are going to surprise the ACC (cant do much worse than last year at 5-7).......we will see how good UCF is after they play South Florida in week 2

would love the numbers for crown and tube for the 45mm PO.

I like how he is taking pictures of the face at an angle to hide the sunken datewheel. Further, nice BS story about "people taking advantage of the sale." The D-Bag deserves to be ripped off......

thanks for posting the pics, great quality too.

excellent shots and review, this pushed me over the edge to get one. thanks lanikai!!!

silix has the watches on 24-20 straps, so I would understand that it is the 46mm version

agree, but I actually have a gen dial to fit the montbrilliant, dont ask me how, but I do.

I appreciate the post as well, I do try to read all reviews - but need to get in the habit of paying credit where credit is due (perhaps a new year's resolution??). In any case, I would like to know the dealer who accurately represented his claims - only if you have no issue with that, as I think it benefits the community as a whole.

I am on my second go around with Chief, simply because of the fact the results are stunning and he is excellent with communication. I am excited to see the results of the new coating process, it looks quite promising. Pretty much, from what I have seen, if you are in the states/canada - go with chief, and in europe go with k2222 - there is no way you will be disappointed.

you know, I love this watch hands down. But that pearl still gets me, though this one is closer to where it needs to be. I blame this board for making me so anal when it comes to my reps - before I would have lived with an off-center pearl without a doubt. anyways, great watch yaron - wear it well...........

V - looks like you are on Ponce in Coral Gables if I'm not mistaken.........

Thanks for the Updates Angus, I am eagerly anticipating the release of this YM!!!!!

Excellent Review!!!!!!!!!! Makes me miss the hell out of my YM......

yep, just as I suspected. I need the lume job......

Beautiful!!! I have the same Navitimer World GMT with Chieftang's double AR crystal and the result is stunning. Could I see a lume shot of the GMT if you dont mind?

I would be interested in 1 for sure, possibly 2. Thanks!!

I couldn't find the link to the status page... can someone help me out?

Thanks

PM sent...

Italiano,

Is that a new rep buckle or a gen strap/buckle? VERY NICE!!!

Great watch, definitely on my list!! It looks like the pearl issuse is pretty much resolved.
