1961 Rolex Oyster Royal Precision Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch - Stainless Steel

Rolex

Item No. 9948

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 - its diameter is just one millimeter smaller than a Datejust.

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

Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 1210 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 except for the strap and buckle and presents as a 9.7 out of 10!

Its case presents as mint with no aging hidden in the engine compartment unlike most 60 year old examples. Its lug are very beefy, showing hardly any signs of ever being polished over its lifetime.

Its Rolex dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components including the tube and crown with genuine Rolex parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and timing testing and regulation (a $725 value).

It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket (non-Rolex) 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.
