    693,XXX serial number circa 1961 production

    Excellent condition vintage pointed crown guard case appears to be original and untouched.

    Dial is original, 2-line, SWISS only chapter ring with "exclamation point". Beautiful patina on plots and
    hands. All luminous is fully intact and correct puffy on dial. Hands are gilt and original. No relume, no refinish.

    Comes with a Triple Lock Rolex crown.

    Bezel insert is in excellent vintage condition.

    Caseback is original, stamped 5512 and II.61 inside.

    Movement is an original 1530. Service history is unknown.

    Watch comes on vintage folded 7836 bracelet which is small and stretched but repairable and 380 End Links.
    No box or papers.

    My price is $24,500 US. or combination of cash and watch(s). Shipping is negotiable. Shipping into the U.S. is not an issue.

    My email is [email protected]

    You will have a 72 hour inspection period. Please return for full refund less shipping if it
    is not as pictured or described.

    You need to use the IMG code, not the direct link code, so they actually show. Just add IMG inside brackets [ ] at the start, and /IMG inside brackets [ ] at the end of each.

    Oh, and NFW. :thumbsup:

    You recently started a thread "What makes a Seller a Good Seller?"
    You've received some great advice such as good pictures, again good pictures, full disclosure, point out issues (good and bad).
    The omission of details, to those that may not know, will be accepted as stated or taken for granted. For example, "exclamation point" dial, yes - but - the dot has flaked off in this case, no longer there; insert excellent vintage condition as described but it is a service replacement; is the crystal scratched at the 6 o'clock (provide as much detail as you can). The claim that hands are gilt and original, if you look at the 7th picture down depicts as if the shine on the hands is stainless steel. Are you sure they are gilt?


    I wish you the best with the sale and do this watch justice and get better pictures...even if you have to pay someone a few bucks for it...
    Cheers and Happy New Year!

    Also of note to your benefit here: Pointed Guards. That is not common and definitely adds value to this watch.

    And should be added there appears to be some pitting on the dial ... which you could say is "starting to go tropical" that is a notable part of the description that definitely will have an impact on buyer... good or bad will depend on buyer taste but if you dont add to description it may be cause for return.
