I have the same... Mine was purchased by my father in Caracas, Venezuela in 1974 (the year I was born). Originally, the dial was gold, about years later he changed it for the current buckley white dial. Cheers!

They get snapped up real quick. They are rarer than gilt subs. All these beautiful DJs here, I have yet seen a nice glossy DJ.

1957 Datejust 14K on 14K President bracelet. Pie-pan dial, arrowhead markers.

Dial says "Superlative Chronometer by Official Test" which I haven't seen before, quite a unique dial marking.

As I said earlier that's a nice one Mineral; about 62 looks right. I'd be interested in knowing if it's a Caliber 1560, and if you have it handy the movement number to compare to mine.

Regards,
Rick

The case serial is 7 mil which dated back to end 50s. Can't find the information about movement caliber.

It is non quick set date.
