C1961 Oyster Perpetual

I'm new to the forum & considering making a trip to view this:

Before I do (& possibly end up making an impulse purchase) what are your opinions?

I can't provide much insight, but I looked at the link and that is a beautiful, classy Rolex.

I'm guessing it has to be a restored dial to be so pristine...

Nice watchy but... bezel is wrong for a 1003, it should not be smooth but engine... and it is really expensive!. For that price you can have a nice 14k ref.1005. Take your time..

Glad to help, Ditch. Once you get a nice 1005, please show us some pics.
