I agree 100%!

Victor, As for the bracelet.. don't know what kind of bracelet you have (a 9315 or a 93150) but you should be able to find a good used one if you are willing to 'wait and see' (don't rush ).

Restoring is probably more exepensive from buying a bracelet... but to have it match the productiondate of your watch could be more difficult. You could post a 'WTB' on Vintage Rolex Market (part of VRF). Who knows, there might be someone out there who has a spare bracelet... and your old one, put it up for sale if you have another one: Don't be suprised to get a good price!

BTW: If you bring your watch to Rolex for a service be careful and specific in your order... they will remove all 'old parts', throw them away and put new stuff on it... if that's OK with you, no problem... but you will be disappointed to get it back with a luminova dial!

Hadoque, ...wow; killer GMT! Looks great
