Rolex Datejust ref 1603 Alpha Hands Original Jubilee circa 1966

Hey OF,

Up for sale today is my early Rolex Datejust ref 1603 with a sunburst silver pie-pan dial. This example has a few interesting traits - uncommon alpha hands, unique hour markers and that it still retains it’s original bracelet. Service history is unknown but it keeps time at +4 seconds/day and date changes crisply around midnight. If you’re not a fan of two-tone or blingy watches, the engine turned bezel DJ’s add a sporty touch to the Datejust line and wear nicely especially on a steel bracelet.

Highlights:
- Uncommon alpha hands with unique hour markers
- Beautifully aged silver pie-pan dial
- Original jubilee bracelet clasp marked 4-65 will fit 7.5" wrist

Things to know:
- Some oxidation on the hands
- A couple lume plots have flaked off
- Some scratches on case and crystal commensurate with age

Additional Information:
Size: 36mm without crown, 20mm lug width
Serial: 12xxxxx
Year: 1966
Caliber: Automatic 1570 movement
Box/papers: No/No
Bracelet: Original jubilee bracelet will fit up to 7.5" wrist

I’m asking $2850 USD which will also include insured shipping within CONUS. Other countries at cost. Paypal, Transferwise or bank wire only. Watch and I are in the US and I can ship worldwide (with some exceptions).

Bump😀

Adding movement and caseback pics as requested (my watchmaker did comment the movement looks to be in very nice condition considering it is from the 60s).

What a lovely Datejust.

And at a great price too!

Glwts!
