FSOT is my 1971 Rolex Datejust 1603.

This piece is in beautiful condition and has just received a major overhaul by my watchmaker. A full bag of old parts are included to to show the extent of the work. Genuine Rolex parts were installed. Ready for another decade of reliable service!

The watch serial number is 2729xxxx (1971). The correct Jubilee bracelet is installed with 6251H clasp code and "4 71" date stamp.

The case and bracelet are the real gems here! You'll rarely see a 50-year old Rolex with a case this strong. It's obviously seen a light polish or two over the years but every angle remains sharp. The jubilee bracelet is in great shape and earns its reputation as one of the most comfortable-wearing bracelets that Rolex ever made.

The dial and hands do show some patina and some tritium plots are missing (however it's not noticeable on the wrist). Hey, it's 50 years old!

Thanks to my watchmaker, it runs well and keeps great time. This movement does not have a quick-set date.

Watch only. No box or papers.

I've priced this watch at $4750 including shipping with Flagship. Trades up to Rolex Explorer 114270 or Ceramic Sub would be entertained.
