    My new 1970 1016 on 6636 bracelet

    I have taken my first small step into vintage Rolex with a 2 owner 1016 which has lived all of its life in the Midlands, coming from Salloways in Lichfield.

    It comes on its original 6636 sprung bracelet and a new 78360 bracelet (not shown), which the previous owner bought to preserve the condition of the 6636. It has slowed down my YG Rolex Day Date plans, but this was too hard to resist.

    These are the sellers pics (a big thank you to John).

    Very nice Dave!

    Dave, that is absolutely stunning!

    I think a coffee in Sol might be in order (I can show off my Reverso as well)!

    It came along unexpected Mike and being so complete and original....I couldn't help myself. I'm still after something in yellow gold though.
