Video Discription |
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ EVERYTHING
This watch was in storage and out of function for decades. Had a $600 complete Service in May 2021 and is now running like a dream.
Very difficult to capture the dial on camera. Looks much better in person
All movement components are ORIGINAL
The dial is however unfortunately reprinted (still original but has been worked on unfortunately
Still a very desirable dial. Features the rare J font in “Datejust” and the extremely rare “chronometre” spelling instead of chronometer (personally only seen one other example). It is also a gilded dial (gold layer under the dial) and hitch gives it a beautiful yet subtle sparkle in the sun.
Hands are all original.
The watch was polished for the first time in this service so it is ready to wear and looks great but has a ton of life and sharpness left on the lugs
Replacement pexiglass is the only thing non original on this watch + the dial + crown replaced
Elevated golden “ROLEX” text and RED date
Some of the #s on the date wheel have lost some paint (nothing major, dm me for more pics)
little lost:

Medium lost:

I do not recommend swimming in this watch but normal things like rain, washing hands and accidents spills should not be an issue.
Serial 996564 meaning production year 1953-1955
Watch keeps time very well
No original strap or buckle. Watch only on aftermarket leather strap (will include brown and black)
Priced low because:
1. You have room to purchase whatever bracket/band & buckle you want (I recommend oyster or jubilee) and still be well below a 1601/3 but with a much cooler watch
2. There is some damage to the case back as seen in the last 2 pics. It seems to be some sort of salt damage or something. It looks worse then it is and does not effect the watch, movement, or case back locking mechanism in any way. Just aesthetically unpleasant. Outside of this the watch is unbelievable condition.
Local pickup for cash is also available in Toronto/GTA with a significant discount.
