  • Опубликовано: 7 дек 2023
  • This Rolex was burned in a house fire in 2010. It is a Rolex 16013 with a fluted gold bezel.
    The case is covered in deep scratches, the glass is burnt but the movement is still running, well more or less at least.
    I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)
