WTT: Rolex Datejust 1601 Linen Dial full set, 1971

[watch_don]

Looking to trade my Datejust 1601 from 1971, plus cash going to the other party, for a 90's 14060 Submariner. The Datejust is the white gold fluted bezel 1601 reference, and comes with both boxes, warranty papers, Datejust booklet, general Rolex booklet showing other models and the history of Rolex, the Datejust cigarette card, the green and red tags, the green cardholder, the translation paper, and lastly the notification papers of the COSC testing standards that the watch was put through. Comes with everything that came with it in 1971. Inner and outer box. Outer box has "1601 w/b" sticker on it. And there are 3 parts to this set that reflect the watch serial number...on the warranty papers, on the green rolex tag, and on the inside of the plastic rolex folder. This is a great collector's set in my opinion, not only because its 100% complete, but mostly because its got a linen dial - which you rarely see in complete sets anymore. The textured linen dial was only produced for about 15 years and this was the first series, in the 4 digit reference (i.e., the 1601, 1603 and 1600). This 1601 has the non-luminous dial, which is more uncommon than the luminious dial. The watch feels heavy and brand new, and looks stunning in real life. It doesn't look vintage, to be honest - it looks like a modern Rolex with a throwback to the old linen dials and the raised acrylic crystals of that era. There's not a single scratch on the case, the bezel, the crystal, the dial, the crown or the bracelet. Its really an incredible example of an iconic datejust model - the linen dial series. One of the reasons I'm considering selling it is because it may be too flashy for my liking. The watch had a full service and is telling perfect time. The bracelet was tightened during the service and the condition of the watch is as if I time-warped to 1971 and walked into a Rolex dealer and bought this watch. The serial number is blurred out in some of the photos for security reasons. Text me for more pics or if you wanna see a video of the watch. Cheers, Don.
