Rolex 1963 GMT "Double Swiss"??
I came across this forum by accident, and so glad i did. It seems to be populated by experts with proper knowledge in their respective fields. I would love to ask your opinion of a Rolex GMT 1963 that i just purchased. I have attached some pictures, but will send more shortly once i take delivery of the watch. I have only seen one other with a similair dial configuration and was wondering if you could give me your opinion. I would also like to purchase a period correct strap/bracelett, that i'm sure is not going to be easy! Possibly someone has one or are able to recommend someone who may have. Thanks guys!
This is the only other i have seen. Obviously far better condition

I will be honest......
.....this dial confuses me a bit. From 1963, that is a pre-tritium period, yet it has the tritium print on the dial. I would have expected just a single Swiss on that dial. The typical double swiss, as you know, doesn't have that tritium. So, since I have...
Thanks
Thanks so much, i did get the comparative picture from this site. I found another that was very informative too.........
This is what vintage Rolex is all about....:)
I did come across a similar dial config and PCG from 1963 in the 1.1 mil serial range. Perhaps if you could share the serial, that may add more details for others to chip in on what they know/think. Cheers!
So the serial looks right for the year and
You also have the confirmation from Bill, congrats and enjoy!
Very correct rolex 1675 from 1963 double swiss
the second swiss is lower edge of the dial. Mine below and another example below that. Congratulations - Also yours has the correct hands the example you showed that was in good condition has a short minute hand and as it is matching the set. Regarding th...
Response
Thanks for your response. Yours looks awesome, nice one!! I was wondering whether to fix the lume in the hour hand. What would you suggest? Obviously i would get an expert to do it, or should i just leave it as is. What sort of value would you say mine is...
I would just polish the crystal and leave the watch as is.
Assuming it is kerping reasonable time put a nice vintage leather strap and enjoy the watch. Value is hard to estimate without examining the watch.
Pictures
Hi Bill, I am worried that I may have offended someone or done something wrong as no one seemed to comment on my pictures of the dial and mechanism outside of the case. If I did, I must apologize but am unaware of any protocol regarding this. Many thanks....
