I bought this watch last month from "rolexenthusiast" on TZ (sells from H.Q. Milton specializing in vintage watches, ill send you link if you want). Watch is in good overall condition but being a 30 year old watch shows signs of use. The dial is very nice, the hands match the dial however you can see a bit of corrosion on the minute hand and a bit of cracking to the luminous material on the hour hand (only really visible up close). Notice also the bezel insert near the luminous dot has a small crack, again only really noticeable close up, you can probably get a new insert pretty cheap but i'd rather keep it original.
The cyclopse was removed by previous owner i guess to give it a different look.
Bracelet shows a bit of stretch but nothing major, wears very well, fits a 7 inch wrist loosely, no extra links. you'll notice it doesnt have a divers extension, this is a replacement bracelet that "rolexenthusiast" sent me as the one that was originally on the watch was very stretched. "rolexenthusiast" told me he would send me a replacement 93150 clasp with divers extension so that will be included. No box or papers.
Keeps very good time, on my wrist it is losing about 2 seconds per day. Watch was pressure tested by RSC before being sold to me and passed of course.
Reason for trading is I prefer these vintage rolex's with plastic crystals, so looking to trade for a 1680 or 1675. I'll add cash depending on condition of course. I'd also be interested in trading (even trade) for a new planet ocean 8500 (42mm) on SS bracelet or a new planet ocean chrono and i'll add cash of course.... my trade value is 4100$ which is 100$ less then what i just paid for it.
Additional pics on request of course. I can also send you my phone number and we can talk "in person". I am in the Ottawa / Gatineau area. Can supply my TZ username so you can look me up as well as my ebay ID and im a member on POTN (photography on the net) where i've sold probably in the area of 20000$ worth of camera gear.
