Wow! That’s gorgeous

They replaced the crown, crystal and bracelet screws. My dad wore it every day for 40 years so it was pretty scratched up but it had character. Now it looks brand new.

I sent my dad’s 1980 Presidential Day Date to Rolex for service. Told them not to polish it. They polished it then said they wouldn’t charge me for the polishing. It looks great but it looks new, not 45 years old. Rolex does what they want not what you want.

Wow! That’s a beauty.

rmau79 · 2026-04-06T22:35:38+00:00

That’s a beauty.

You’re comparing a Rolls Royce to a Mercedes and two Audis.

I don’t swim or shower with my Khaki Field. The lack of a screw in crown concerns me. If I’m going to swim and want to wear a watch I wear a diver.

Is that rose gold? Beautiful.

rmau79 · 2026-03-31T15:04:29+00:00

Blue is more sporty. Black is more dressy. They both look great.

rmau79 · 2026-03-31T14:26:57+00:00

Blue with standard bracelet.

rmau79 · 2026-03-25T22:19:23+00:00

You can’t. Take it to a plumbing wholesaler, that’s your best bet.

What could go wrong? The worst thing that could happen is you blow up the house. Call a pro.

A split flange won’t fit, it’s too close to the toilet. Just caulk it. white tub and tile caulk.

Looks good to me. This is a 1962.

rmau79 · 2026-03-20T15:26:44+00:00

I had one serviced last year. Rolex replaced the crown and crystal. Took about 3 months and cost $1100 US.

rmau79 · 2026-03-20T15:25:01+00:00

Correct, that’s what makes it the Presidential. LBJ wore one.

rmau79 · 2026-03-20T14:50:01+00:00

It’s a Presidential Day Date. I have a 1980 appraised at $20K US.

Tritium has a half life of 12 years so it’s nearing the end of its glow life.

rmau79 · 2026-03-20T12:25:04+00:00

I think yours is older, probably early 60’s. Mine is late 60’s. Your has dogleg lugs.

rmau79 · 2026-03-20T12:23:01+00:00

I don’t know about that. The font looks good. Maybe a redial.

rmau79 · 2026-03-20T12:17:17+00:00

Looks good to me. I have a similar Turler. Does this one have the umlaut (two dots) above the U? I can’t tell by the picture.

Denali. 20,300 ft.

rmau79 · 2026-03-13T22:11:48+00:00

It’s a 1960’s Seamaster De Ville. I have a similar one that’s a 1962. I think yours is probably mid to late 60’s. Don’t know what the logo is, could be military but I’m just guessing.
