Rolex - 1973 Rolex Datejust Rare Matte grey Dial (Ref. 1603)
Reference: 1603
Model: Datejust
Movement: Automatic
Year: 1973
Contents: Watch Only
Case: The case is 36mm. The lugs are thick, and the case is in nice shape. The engine turned bezel is also clean. The watch has normal signs of wear.
Dial: The original grey dial is a special one. Most grey pie pan dials are sunburst, but this one has a smooth matte finish, which is rarely seen. The dial has some signs of wear on the edges and around the center but nothing out of the ordinary for the matte dials from the 70s. The hands have been professionally color matched to insure the longevity of the watch.
Strap & Buckle: Another uncommon factor is a 4-digit Rolex on an Oyster. This one is in nice shape and ties in with the very sporty look of the 1603 bezel.
Dimensions: 36mm
