Just Beautiful 1978 Rolex Oyster Datejust Gents Vintage Watch

Description: Sonning Vintage Watches Just Beautiful 1978 Rolex Oyster Datejust Gents Vintage WatchThe Overview This is a stunning example of the Rolex Oyster Datejust from 1978. The solid steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of wear. The original Rolex signed steel Pie Pan dial is untouched and in very good condition. The applied steel hour batons and steel hands provide the softest contrast to the dial and are perfectly framed by the fluted bezel. The very high grade Rolex signed automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The watch sits on a genuine Rolex Jubilee bracelet which is aesthetically in excellent condition but does have significant sag. The bracelet and watch measures just under 20cm and being an early bracelet doesn’t have screw links so please check your wrist size before ordering. We’d be happy to include a new, super high quality black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap (retail cost £230). My asking price is below the value for a watch of this condition and rarity, particularly with the continual rise in value of vintage watches of this high quality. In view of the high grade Swiss movement, I will include a 12 month written guarantee on the movement. The Case The solid steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of wear. The case measures 36mm across, excluding the Rolex signed crown and 44mm long including the lugs. The inside case is signed ‘Montres Rolex SA Geneva Switzerland’, ‘Stainless Steel’ and the case number is ‘1600’. The serial number is 5.26million dating it to 1978. The Movement The very high grade Rolex signed automatic movement is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The movement is signed ‘Montres Rolex SA Geneva Swiss’, ‘Twenty Six 26 Jewels’, ‘Adjusted 5 Positions and Temp’ and the calibre is ‘1570’. The movement number is ‘D514797’.
