The Oysterdate Precision have become desirable non-sport vintage Rolex watches because their understated and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches. It's a watch that is at home being worn everyday or only for special occasions. Produced from the early 1950's into the 1980's, it was a strong commercial success for Rolex, winning a large following.
It measures 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.
Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 1215 handwound movement with date and shock resistance.
It has fully Rolex parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.
Its case presents as mint. Its Rolex dial has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye. Its case presents as mint. Overall it presents in gorgeous condition, freshly expertly refurbished close to like new.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, replacing all of the waterproofing seals with new Rolex gaskets, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $495 value).
Its movement is very clean. It contines to keep time on par with a brand new Rolex in our tested face-up position. Photos of the inside available upon request.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
We also have two fine quality aftermarket bracelets available for purchase so you can choose which look you prefer or switch between them depending on how you feel. One is done in a Rolex Presidential style and one is done is a Rolex Oyster style. Both have heavy solid link designs and are adjustable and brand new. Please see the sample photos in the listing.
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.
