    I've had this one for about 3 years and need to get it off the bench to make room for an incoming grail. This is a serial # 427xxx with a date-correct IV 1958 case back. Watch has seen plenty of polishing as seen in the high-rez crops I've provided. Rolex matte service dial is nice but has a smudge/scrape through "officially" and a small nick in the first "E" in perpetual. Please see high rez crop for details. These flaws are very negligible when on the wrist. 1030 movement is running well, but I have no idea of when it was last serviced. I'm betting at least 10 years ago, so I assume that it is greatly in need of a CLA. Keeping pretty good time despite lack of service, shows how bullet-proof these old movements were...

    Many aftermarket parts on this watch including: bezel, insert, hands, date-wheel.

    The items I can guarantee are genuine Rolex: dial(not original to the watch, it is a later Rolex matte service dial), case and case-back, movement and crown. Crown has a small ding in it.

    I think the pictured strap looks cool on this watch, so will include it with the purchase.

    Serious buyers please feel free to contact me for questions or more photos.

    Asking $8,000 OBRO plus shipping. pp (either gift or you pay the fee) or bank transfer. I prefer a US sale at this time.
    No returns unless I have misrepresented something.

    Thanks for the space, OF.

    Cheers,

    Todd
