Help with reference number

Hi
I'm looking for a TT 34mm with jubilee bracelet and date but can't find the proper reference number. Does anyone know?
Ive found several different numbers but I think the sellers states the wrong reference. Like this one for eg states 1500 but thats supposed to be smooth bezel:

Any pointers would be much obliged

.

It looks like a model 1503/3 , rolesor OP date from the 60's or 70's.

Ask the seller to remove bracelet and have a look between lugs. The model number will be at 12h and the s/n at 6h (that will determine the year of fabrication).

This advert is saying this is an aftermarket bracelet. And it is a file photo, not the actual watch that is for sale.

Thanks for the info but 1503 should be full gold 34mm as 1803 is full gold 36mm

Yeah my thoughts exactly. When I asked for additional photos (wanted to see the case number) I got answer that it wasn't possible. I replied "Why? Isn't the watch in your possession?"
The answer was that they handle a lot of watches on day to day basis and they can't take pics and send to everyone as it was time-consuming

1803 is a Daydate , so is always full gold. 1803/8 is yellow gold and 1803/9 is white gold.

1503 is an OP date so can be rolesor or full gold , with a fluted bezel.

1503/8 is full yellow gold , 1503/5 is full rose gold , and finally 1503/3 is rolesor with yellow gold bezel and crown.

You're right, this one is a 1505/3. This advert is bad.

I can't find any 1503/3 but following Rolex document demonstrates the 1503/3 exists.


( French word "cannelée" stands for fluted )

Thats the thing, I only find bad adverts and sellers who state wrong ref :(
I believe you but I can't find any ref so I can do a proper search for 34mm TT, jubilee and fluted bezel. What ever they're called

Ask the seller to remove bracelet and give you indisputable infos, the s/n and the model number.

They won't
I suspect that they know its the wrong ref but they rather wait for a novice buyer instead

Is 15053 a correct reference?
Or maybe it only comes with engine turned bezel?

15053 is the successor of 1505/3 , engine turned bezel

15037 is successor of 1503/7 and 15038 successor of 1503/8

1503/3 didn't had a sucessor

Thanks for the info. Too bad the sellers don't look at the case for correct reference and just throws out a number...
