Are you sure the serial number is INSIDE on a S&G Rolex Oyster
Perpetual?

I found my notes from when I opened it many years ago and all I wrote
down was the model number "16000" which was stamped on the case back on
the inside if I remember correctly. However, I don't remember seeing
any serial numbers stamped INSIDE?

I do remember seeing a serial number on the side (next to where the 6
o'clock position) underneath the band when the Texas pawn shop removed
the band to look up the serial number in a book to assess the value for
pawn purposes.

I wish I had written that serial number down as I don't have a tool to
get that pin out which holds the Jubilee steel and gold band to the
case (or is it to the crown)?

Do you know what tool will remove the Rolex Jubilee band?
