Wow! You seem to be on a roll lately! Would love to see the dial on this one. OP, DJ or Air-King? Just taking a wild guess, as I'm afraid I don't know my Rolex history well. Congratulations!

Can't wait to see what this one is too! If anything Michael Young can help restore that bracelet from what I've heard. Chances are you may not have it long enough for this to be necessary though lol.

I won't be polishing nor restoring anything on this one, like I explained to Roger, this was purchased back in 68 at a PX in Vietnam and worn by the same gentleman until I bought it. Everything's matching, bracelet included. By the way it's turned a bit tropical-dare I use the adjective :eek:

New 1603 arrived today. Love the pitting on that dial, nasty and dirty, just how I like them. Heading to the watchmaker for a service. No polish or cleaning though.
