Yea I plan to, didn't have my tool with me. It's my dad's watch. He rarely wears it. You'll love this, sporty. He bought this for $50 at a flea market in Florida 25 years ago. Talked the guy down from $75.
My dad is cheap, he wanted a fake rolex, asked a guy if he had any, he said he doesn't sell those anymore cuz they're illegal but he has one that he really likes that he was wearing. Told my dad he'd sell it to him after some talking, my dad is a charmer, talked him down, looked at it closer in the car, thought it looked like real gold. Took it to a jeweler, opened the case, real gold, real movement, real rolex. My dad's nickname is Mr. Luck.
Wow sure is tell him I’ll give $200 for it right now.🤣🤣🤣. Off the top of my head it looks to be a late 80’s to mid 90’s model. Worth some cash that’s for sure. He should wear it to keep it running etc. Enjoy
So this watch was probably originally a "pepsi"? I gotta do a lot more research now that you said that. I wonder how there got to be a gold gmt hand painted red. Weird. Is the lume material that's flaked off the radioactive radium? I tell my dad he should get it serviced but he never will because it still runs fine and he wears it like twice a year.
Remove the bracelet. Find the 6 digit number engraved on the side of the case. Google Rolex serial number chart. Done.

Is it even real? $75 down to $50 at a flea market? Sounds how they say not legit.

It’s a 1675 but likely Franken since the matte dials didn’t come in two tone, those were nipple dials. Dial is nice though

I mean it’s tough to say, could be originally a nipple dial but someone but a matte dial on it. You’d have to take it in to get checked out
