  1. Here is one from MarvellousRreplica

    The hour hand is wrong, the bracelet is wrong (not riveted and clasp) and the case is wrong (non drilled lug holes). Dial is fairly accurate. 

    Here is a gen from Chrono24

    http://www.chrono24.com/en/rolex/ss-op-very-rare-silver-baton-dial-vintage-milgauss-1019--id4218156.htm

    The bracelet is correct for this year (1970) as they did come with all of Rolex variants.

     

    FWIW, Trusty's example is pretty close to a 27K dollar watch. The font differences and such are not going to be noticed from more than a foot away anyway. Also the dial will vary over the span of the years in production. Gen dials, last time I checked were in the 4K-5K range if you could find one available.

     

    I say go for it and enjoy. It's a great watch.

    Hi and welcome. Looking forward to some comments/ comparisons to how it was back than.

    Thank you NW, I'm sure I will throw a few around.  I will say this, folks are actually knowledgeable about these. Kinda feel like I'm back to basics. See a post I may be able to help someone and find the issue has been solved. Steep learning curve to keep up with :)

    Very nice brutha!  I'm going to say the one on the right is the gen.  The dial is white.

    What gave it away?  The crown?   Love the GMT hand you have too...

    Beauty!  Is it a cream dial or just the light?  Either way, congrats on a great pick-up!

     

    Here's mine...just have to remember which one is the rep ;)

  5. It is great to see the quality has gone up, but the other side of the coin shows that we are paying much more for it. That is ok, I don't mind not having to do incredible mods to get the pieces close to what is, in my mind, acceptable.

    Thank you for the warm welcome back Mike!  Glad to have this forum available with the experience and knowledge for all.

    Best!

  6. Has the issue been resolved for you yet?  As StormTrooper stated, you will need a new crown and stem. It is possible that you might need a full service on the movement, seeing as it is an A7750, which are notorious for winding/setting issues. The gear that winds the barrel is made if incredibly cheap metal that chews teeth if handwound, causing debris to enter the rest of the movement.

    If you don't want to go the service route, a replacement movement is fairly cheap and available.
