1956 Rolex Oyster Precision Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch with Black Dial - Stainless Steel

Rolex

Item No. 9551R

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.

Today's offering proudly showcases this impressive Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned mens Rolex Oyster Precision watch in gorgeous restored condition. It measures 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.

Powering the watch is its Rolex Caliber 1210 handwound movement with shock resistance, which is in clean condition. Photos of the inside available upon request.

It is fully Rolex down to the hands and winding crown. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

Its case presents as mint. Its original Rolex dial, which has very cool vintage styled markers, 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 $495 value). It continues to run very strong and true, keeping time virtually on par with a brand new Rolex in our testing position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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.

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.
