Rolex Bubbleback restoration project

I love the Rolex Bubbleback. Recently, I have found a Rolex steel bubbleback with a reconditioned dial and from the photo looked like a non Rolex crown.

The watch was supposed to be working but it wasn’t. As such, there will be a need to send for servicing. I have managed to find a new old stock dial to replace the reconditioned dial.


After one week, the restoration project is complete. The dial is with an original Rolex crown too!
