Rolex

Hi folks,

I had my eyes on a grail and I am selling this to fund that grail.

This is the watch that needs no further introduction, and in fact, the most understated in value for all vintage Rolexes. It has the history (the predecessor to the Submariner), gilt dial and hands, gilt chapter ring and gloss dial we all adore.

This particular piece has a unique patina, nicknamed the stardust (or galaxy dial). I hate fanciful names when the "patina" is not caused naturally but due to abused. Not this piece. The stardust effect is formed in between the layer of lacquer and the metal dial. The surface of the dial is almost 99% mint and glossy perfect. Check out the deep egg yolk near perfect patina radium markers and you will know that this is not a watch that was abused.

Watch is produced in 1954, and the A260 calibre movement was last serviced a year back ago. Works like it should. It should be noted that the surface of the bezel has some repair marks, but all parts is original to the watch.

Watch does not comes with bracelet. And here are the photos:
