Not seen as often as the date models, its "no date" dial and understated case give it a really pleasing and clean classic style. It's a watch that is perfectly at home being worn everyday or only for special occasions.
It has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition. If you're a discerning collector looking for a vintage Rolex that presents as superior condition, unlike most examples, you've found it. It presents as a 9.7 out of 10.
Housed in one of Rolex's watertight Oyster cases, the wristwatch originally offered its owner complete protection against water, dust, and perspiration.
Originally a mens midsize, its 31mm unisex size case is best suited for someone who does not have a large wrist.
Powering it is its original Caliber 1161 "perpetual" automatic movement officially certified as a chronometer.
Its case presents gorgeously. The lugs show signs of previous polishing - otherwise the case presents as just short of perfect mint. The fluted bezel shows only very slight remnants of wear and still retains strong lines.
Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. And its movement is near pristine.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $795 value).
It winds very smoothly for a watch of its age. It is running exceptionally strong and true, keeping time in our testing position better than brand new Rolexes that we've sold.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
