Hi All
I have posted a picture of my 1016 previously but I hope people will forgive me for posting again as it is the anniversary of the purchase brand new at the NAAFI in Singapore 22/11/1965.
Interestingly the watch was chronometer certified June 1962 so steel sports Rolexs did not always have a lengthy waiting list as this one waited 3 years between certification and purchase!
It is still a daily wearer and although it does lose a few minutes a month I am loath to get it opened up in case I have to get a load of stuff replaced. A little bit scratched and battered but I think that is what they call patina :)
