It measures 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.
Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 1225 handwound movement with date and shock resistance.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.
Its case presents as mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Its lugs still have nice width to them. Its matte black Rolex dial, with great original vintage styled markers, has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.
Though the dial looks more gloss under the photography lights, it appears matte in person.
As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $595 value). Photos of the inside available upon request.
Its movement is near pristine and running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Rolex in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle and meticulously making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
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.
