On offer is a beautiful and simple Rolex Oysterdate, circa 1950s with roulette date wheel which flips from red to black. Any "honeycomb" style dial is nice for its texture and depth and this particular one has taken on a nice warm patina. Overall, nice vintage condition on this example which offers plenty of character. This piece actually had its entire mid-case replaced by Rolex in service which is not super common to come across. If you've been looking for an affordable Rolex and appreciate a more true vintage aesthetic, the Oysterdate can be a practical choice for those who prefer something versatile yet understated.

Dial: Beautiful "honeycomb" style dial that this era are known for, adding depth and texture. This example a nice warm hue with eggshell patina. The radium plots have darkened which is common to see.
Bezel: Normal signs of use.
Hands: Are matching. All of their lume is stable. Case: Is a service replacement from Rolex. It was likely swapped out many years ago and doesn't take away from the patina'd look of the dial. Lugs are thick and even. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Two piece suede strap in tan.
Crystal: Clear.

The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 1-year mechanical warranty.
