1966 Rolex Oyster Vintage Mens Handwound Watch, Stainless Steel - Classic Design

Rolex

Item No. 8670

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, and this model features an engine turned indexed bezel - its understated 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.

We are proud to offer this Certified Pre-Owned all-original example in superior condition. Its original Rolex Oyster bracelet is correctly stamped 4/66.

Its case presents as just short of mint with nice still fairly wide lugs; it shows only slight remnants of previous wear and light signs of previous polishing. And its original and untouched silver dial is gorgeous. The original luminous in the hands perfectly matches the original luminous on the dial. The luminous on the dial hasn't even begun to have dark age spots.

Our Master Watchmaker has performed any need servicing on the watch including replacing all of the waterproofing seals with new genuine Rolex gaskets. It continues to run very strong.

For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

The pictures are of the actual watch for sale. We offer shipping the next business day to over 100 countries. In addition, we offer a 30 day no hassle money back guarantee if you don't absolutely love it so there's no risk to you!
