You are right Andrew....I recently had a Rolex
Hi Andrew,
You are right.
I recently had a Rolex bracelet that needed some repair and good old Aust Post lost it. Fact was with the bar code system it turned out that it got stolen at the Post Office of Deposit.
Insurance covered $3K but a replacment was around $11.5K for a new bracelet and I put the watch on a leather strap and the size changed enormously.
I have seen a 5817 in yuellow gold with a yellow gold bracelet and it looks like a different watch....something I would have bought some years ago but these days it seems a lot of weight to carry.
Here is a comparison of the Yellow Gold option.
Well I screwed that up...look at the next post to see the photo comparison.
kindest regards,
Jack
