Description
1969 ROLEX OYSTER PRECISION Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch - Stainless Steel

Gorgeous Restored Condition - Fully Rolex - 1 Year Warranty

One of the more seldom seen classic vintage Rolex watches is the Oyster Precision as Rolex made most watches of this style with a date.

It features a much thinner profile than the Perpetual models - its understated, elegant and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches. Its silver pearl dial with the watch's steel case, hands, and markers gives the watch a fantastic monochromatic style.

And this Oyster Precision has a little larger diameter than an Oysterdate and Oyster Perpetual non-Datejust watches - it's diameter is just one millimeter smaller than a Datejust.

Today's offering proudly showcases this impressive Certified Pre-Owned mens Rolex Oyster watch in gorgeous restored condition.

Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 1225 handwound movement with shock resistance.

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition. It has all of its original parts and presents as a 9.7 out of 10!

Its case presents as mint with signs of polishing to the lugs. It has no aging hidden in the engine compartment unlike most half-century old examples. Its dial has been expertly restored and presents as mint.

As part of the restoration, it has just been freshly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker (a $695 value). Its movement is quite pristine. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Rolex.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
