I know people have always regarded Rolex as one of the best, but an expensive watch. So, pardon me for not doing my research but how much do they cost in USD? Like the base model up to the most desirable common model? I'm precluding special editions or buying a bunch of diamonds. Just a regular production watch. Just an average price in US, if that's possible to do. Then I will try to compare with here in China. Though the info is hard to find in China because AD is only in Top Cities and regular people will rarely walk in and bother them about the price.

The writing on the caseback: Peacock Liaoning Watch Factory 3113 . I have read that they collaborated with the manufactory over in Liaoning, so maybe this model is a cool example.

Xiexie, ok, I'll keep my eye open for a watch repair. Tip for anyone in china, the cheap watch fix-it guys are usually on the basement level in big markets,, down where you access parking garage. You can find really interesting, cheap shops down there, overlooked by many.

🙂 I'm new to learning about watches. I considered trying to change the crystal myself, but the little bit of online reading I did about it dissuaded me from trying. I may have another look at it though, even keep my eye open for a real watch repair shop China-style. Like I said, I'm a newbie, so I don't even know what is meant by 'grade'.

Oh, the two pics w/out the strap were pre-cleaning.

ah, I didn't note that on initial examination. Indeed seems a specialized spanner required.

Oh, I forgot to mention the price. ¥110.00 ($15.38)
