Original white Buckley dial with black Roman numerals

Original white Buckley dial with black Roman numerals & matching hands. These dials are referred to as “Buckley” dials after a well known vintage watch dealer John Buckley expressed his interest in these  dials. Signed “T Swiss T” referring to the original tritium luminous used on the dial. The dial has not been touched by us and remains in excellent original condition with the luminous showing a very nice patina.

two tone with solid gold fluted bezel

Ref. 17013 bi-metal with stainless steel case and solid yellow gold fluted bezel. The 6.5 million serial number denotes the year of production to 1981. All Oysterquartz models featured a sapphire crystal with a “Cyclops” magnifying the date display. The case & bracelet have been professionally polished by us giving the watch a stunning aesthetic. The gold bezel has been sympathetically polished by hand so that it retains the original fluted edges. This is one of the reasons why our watches are presented in the highest quality in terms of condition. The crown is an original gold Rolex Oyster Twinlock screw down crown.

Two Tone Rolex OysterQuartz Jubilee bracelet

Original two tone steel & solid gold Rolex OysterQuartz Jubilee bracelet. This bracelet has the reference 17013 with the clasp marked “14” referring to the middle links made from solid 14k gold. Bracelets can be resized to fit on request.
