In the 1970's as Rolex was just transitioning its dress watches to be sold under the Cellini moniker, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian Oyster sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior hand-wound mechanism with classic aesthetics.

The elegant and uncommon Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Rolex Precision showcased in today's offering is a fabulously presenting example of this phenomenon, presumably made exclusively for the Japanese market.

It is one the last mens dress watches sold under the Precision label. It features timeless vintage styling and a well-executed handwound movement.

Powering the watch is its Rolex caliber 1225 handwound movement shock protected in two places.

It has all of its original Rolex parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

It case presents as mint with light signs of previous polishing and some natural aging almost entirely hidden inside the engine bay.

Despite what the photos seem to suggest, it still clearly retains its original lightly stamped serial number on the back. On the wrist it presents as beautiful mint.

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

As part of the restoration, its movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running exceptionally accurately, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, it has been equipped 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 C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page 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.

Don't miss the opportunity to own the perfect complement to your sporty Datejust, Sub, GMT, or Daytona.
