The elegant dress Rolex showcased in today's offering is a prime example of this phenomenon. It features fine styling and a well-executed caliber 1210 movement.
We were fortunate to acquire it in such pleasing original condition. The case retains sharp lines and the movement, and the watch retains a Rolex strap and Rolex buckle.
Our watchmaker cleaned and oiled the watch about 3.5 years ago - it is keeping time extremely accurately. For the finishing touch we are including a brand new unsigned croc strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
