1969 Rolex Oyster Precision Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch - Stainless Steel

Rolex

Item No. 9490

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. Its silver pearl dial with the watch's steel case, hands, and markers gives the watch a fantastic monochromatic style.

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 1225 handwound movement with shock resistance.

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition. It has all of its original parts and presents as a 9.7 out of 10!

Its case presents as mint with signs of polishing to the lugs. It has no aging hidden in the engine compartment unlike most half-century old examples. Its silver pearl 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 $695 value). Its movement is quite pristine. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Rolex.

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.

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.

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.
