[@timeintheuk]

Always when i think vintage . Its quite tempting. But also rather risky .

[@devilsfan5967]

Thank you for the great information, I’m thinking of getting the same watch, will do my DD!

You will love it! Happy Horological Hunting!

Beautiful watch. I just bought a 96. Just an FYI..... the laser etched crystals only started in 2001-2002 so your crystal was changed.

[@dailywristchecker7128]

It's actually pretty easy, later I will send you a video that shows you how 👍

Must have a service glass since they didn't use the etched crown in the 90's

[@dailywristchecker7128]

Yes! You are spot on, looks like they started the etching in 2002. The hands had been changed also, which is kinda a bummer cause that tritium on the lume dot on the bezel and the dial look awesome with that creamy patina...... would be an absolute win if it was all original, still a fantastic version for the bargain that was had......

[@manleytl3]

My 2003 bluesy has no etching

[@manleytl3]

With 3 small dots

[@blueyedevil3479]

I have a 2005 without an etched crown…

[@jeraldc.1729]

Was gonna say. I have a '96 and it has no etching.

[@Hazynecklace]

It looks like your dial has started to patina into a purple hue 👍

[@braunt2216]

What year are serif date numbers ?

[@braunt2216]

I see no dates have serif font organized but I wish to have the numbers for date to have the hooks

[@housekarl5786]

...informative. I will adopt in negotiations.......Maaate, not on leather :)

[@dailywristchecker7128]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 ive got so much abuse about that leather 🤣🤣🤣🤣haha

[@heliman9552]

should have left the original bezel on the watch, also the glass is incorrect there was no etching in the 90's on the 16613LB , I have one of the last ones made a Vseries number, I've had it since it was new turns out to be agreat investment, but i would never sell it and recognise its true value is in its originality.

[@dailywristchecker7128]

Yes! You are spot on, looks like they started the etching in 2002. :) of course you know I kept the original bezel! thanks for checking out the video!

[@Nicholasishappy]

I was about to point that out too. a little hesitant on that but the glass is strange because some reports from forums have mentioned that RSC usually replaced glass with S etched instead so even if it was replaced, it should not be a crown. but... back to this topic, the crown on the glass is something I'm personally quite curious about as well. I do have 2 P series (2000) neo vintages as well, one a sub and another a gmt master 2. the sub has LEC and the gmt doesn't. the inconsistencies bugs me so if anyone knows more about this and happen to see this comment, please share your thoughts

[@wmdouglas3]

The crystal on your watch is not level (flush) with the case. It looks raised up. Rolex would never allow that, thus I’d be skeptical.

[@TheDenny34uk]

The watch is awesome the leather strap on it is sacrilege don't do it lol the watch looks incredible with the original strap 🙃

[@dailywristchecker7128]

it seems there is a consensus building! haha😅😁

[@camarocarl7130]

leather on a diver is for tossers.

[@dailywristchecker7128]
