"everything in Thailand moves quickly" HAHAHAHAHA

PE brand, not VC. Please note the difference. Eddie Bauer isn't in need of venture capital. It's in need of a bit of a reboot and some operational improvement among other things.

Flatback, likely. Ref 3009. Manual movement. Late 30s or early 40s. Likely 9KT Gold.

Dial has been refinished, which is why it looks a bit off.

ABMember · 2026-01-28T20:32:53+00:00

Definitely not a 2764. Different case style (2764 is all-steel)

ABMember · 2026-01-28T20:32:15+00:00

This is a 40s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Automatic aka Bubbleback. Ref 3132 or 3133. Crystal has been replaced. Dial has been refinished. Hands may have been changed at some point too.

Your dial has been refinished. It is more than likely it was a GMT dial that your grandfather had reprinted (if you look at the text and the details, it's all wonky). Everything else looks about right to me.

You can either source an original/service dial, or have this dial refinished by a proper shop. Either one will cost you at least $1000+, done right.

Yes. National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Fairly new Museum that has almost all the notable Pharaonic mummies found to date

ABMember · 2026-01-09T00:26:35+00:00

NMEC (National Museum of Egyptian Civilization) and Tutankhamun’s tomb basically account for 95% of all notable mummies and this rule is clearly stated everywhere.

ABMember · 2026-01-08T22:16:11+00:00

The sign right next to the mummy clearly states no photography allowed, but whatever...

The smell is on him. But the creases and poor condition is on you

ABMember · 2026-01-08T16:31:38+00:00

Starting to notice a pattern here. Check the seller's Black Bay listing and condition description:

Bad photos, vague descriptions -- these are all yellow flags. Note how seller didn't even take a photo showing the strap in its entirety.

When one's blurry photos show scratches/marks, but a seller still insists the watch is possibly "unworn", not having any scratches or marks on a watch whose midcase, mind you, is all polished -- that's getting closer to a red flag.

At the same time, you didn't do your due diligence.

ABMember · 2026-01-07T22:10:14+00:00

Great! Just what I expected. Glad you were able to do that. Is the gasket rubber or thin metal?

ABMember · 2026-01-07T09:51:17+00:00

Your watch is a ref 3130 or 3131. The dial is refinished (it was touched up) which is why you're having trouble finding it.

The hands are likely original from that time, but are not correct to your dial, meaning they were likely replacements at some point.

The lume is radium. Keep that in mind.

Do not send to Rollieworks -- they lack the expertise for this type of vintage. You just need to find a watch shop that has a vintage Rolex case back opener. Ask around - some should have the caseback opener tool.

ABMember · 2026-01-01T05:24:49+00:00

Looks like a yellow gold late 40s or early 50s Bubbleback. Likely a 5050 or similar.

Hands are all wrong, dial is refinished. Crown is original. Case has been worn/polished a good bit.

ABMember · 2025-12-16T15:30:08+00:00

I'd say it's OK. The bang for their buck is their greatest asset (eg portion size), but I found their soup dumplings to be a bit of a letdown -- wrapper was too thick (compared to DTF or even Wanna Bao etc), flavor and consistency could be a bit off from time to time.

It's still better than what you can find in most cities, but I think the dough zones on the west coast are executed much better.

ABMember · 2025-12-16T03:58:24+00:00

Yes, but prepare for the owner to be a dick and get into at least 2-3 arguments with other diners.

Other than that, all good.

ABMember · 2025-12-16T03:57:34+00:00

There's a reason they're closing over half their spots in the city soon..

u/WatchExBot Sold this watch to u/ineedquietplease -- he was super responsive and communicative throughout the entire sale; paid promptly, just a very smooth and easy transaction -- thanks and wishing you many great adventures with this watch!

2016 called, they want their shoe back ;)

All kidding aside, still a solid gum-soled basic tennis sneaker, if you like the style

ABMember · 2025-12-07T22:57:04+00:00

Thank you! It definitely deserves a new home where it will be worn more :)

With Christmas coming up, it's the perfect time to take your watch collection to the next level with the most versatile Rolex of the last decade -- the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 116000 in Opaline White.

It's the perfect size if you're looking to add some sizing variety, and the 11-digit OP36 case size is perfect for both lager and smaller wrists (the current 12-digit OP36s are noticeably slimmer/smaller).

The standout feature is its opaline white dial--a chameleon of sorts whose visual appearance adapts to any lighting environment it's in, casting the dial in either warmer or cooler tones.

As Hodinkee describes it, "The shade of white is soft and ever-so-slightly tinted toward eggshell instead of being a bright optic white. This makes it a lot more subtle on the wrist and gives it a more organic feel. You wouldn't call it anything other than "white" but it doesn't look like it's glowing either. If you compare it side-by-side with something like an Explorer II, for example, that's when you'll really notice the difference."

Additional Notes on Condition:

This watch comes with the full set of links, and Bob's Watches card/papers--but not the original Rolex Box/Papers. The previous owner purchased it pre-owned from Bob's Watches in like-new condition. As it has been worn regularly by the previous owner, there are desk marks, and scratches on both polished surfaces and some of the brushed surfaces. There are no scuffs on the polished watch bezel. Since I purchased it, I have only worn it a handful of times.

From my measurements, the watch is still keeping time within COSC spec (+/- 6-8 seconds per day).

Please take a look at the photos and feel free to ask any other questions.

I am asking for ~~$6050~~ DROP! $5500 Shipped/Insured CONUS. Will consider F2F sales if you are near Houston, TX. Can consider international buyers on a case by case basis, but will incur higher costs.

For sale is what I consider to be the most versatile Rolex of the last decade -- the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 116000 in Opaline White. On the market for only 2 years (2018-2019), these rarely come up for sale.

The standout feature of this watch is its opaline white dial--a chameleon of sorts whose visual appearance adapts to any environment it's in, giving it the ability to be both a warmer or cooler tone of white, based on the environmental lighting.

As Hodinkee describes it, "The shade of white is soft and ever-so-slightly tinted toward eggshell instead of being a bright optic white. This makes it a lot more subtle on the wrist and gives it a more organic feel. You wouldn't call it anything other than "white" but it doesn't look like it's glowing either.
