1961 Rolex Oyster Precision Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch with Black Dial - Stainless Steel

Rolex

Item No. 9072

One of the more seldom seen classic vintage Rolex watches is the Oyster Precision as Rolex made most watches of this style with a date.

It features a much thinner profile than the Perpetual models - its understated, elegant and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches.

And this Oyster Precision has a little larger diameter than an Oysterdate and Oyster Perpetual non-Datejust watches - it's diameter is just one millimeter smaller than a Datejust.

Today's offering proudly showcases this impressive Certified Pre-Owned mens Rolex Oyster watch in gorgeous restored condition.

Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 1215 handwound movement with shock resistance.

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition. It has fully Rolex parts and presents as a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.

Its case presents as mint with some aging hidden in the engine compartment. It has full beefy lugs that have not been overly polished. Its Rolex dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, it has just been freshly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker (a $595 value). It is running very strongly, keeping time essentially on par with a new Rolex in our testing position.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and 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.

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 in a Rolex Oyster style. Both have heavy solid link designs and are adjustable and brand new. Please see the sample photos in the listing.
