My Rolex with aftermarket parts- Need advise
Hello,I'm new to this forum and I admittedly don't know much about watches.... but I want to learn. I was given a 1968 Rolex Presidential. The watch is 18K white gold with an aftermarket dial and band. The band is not made by Rolex and it's 18k yellow gold which rhodium plated to match the watch and looks exactly like a genuine Rolex band. I was told the band weighs 67.5 grams. Also, the dial is aftermarket. It's bright blue with diamonds where the numbers should be (except at 12:00 where it has the day of the week)Thank you.
