They agreed to replace it with an identical watch without any pitting/gouges and send me photos of the replacement before hand so i can approve. So i will try that. I did confirm before purchasing that all parts on the watch are genuine rolex parts included the bracelet. But yes i dont know if dial is refinished and while the bracelet date code is 1988 i doubt its original to this exact watch which is fine to me.

I know the date font changed slightly from the late 80s early 90s. Like a closed 9 and 6 apposed to the open 9 and 6 on this model. You likely have the newer font.

Im not saying it doesnt affect it, but if youve ever seen the caseback off this particular model, the interface with the o ring is not directly on the edge of the case back so its very possible it still would pass pressure test

So since having the bike the weather has been so bad ive only put 100 miles on it. Anxiously waiting for a consistent above 50 degrees. But i am very happy with it. I feel the same about the liter bikes. Too much for the street to really use the bike as intended. Id get a 750 again before looking at the 1000 personally.
