And then Rolex took inspiration and made the 17000 OQ and the 1530 with clear tribute to this wonderful design!

Thanks! I agree 100%

I'll have to get a picture of the original brushing still on the sides of this 80 year old case.

Hello, looking for the simplest, Oysterdate Precision...

Entry level, 6694. I know there is not a short supply of these in the vintage world but I was wondering what sellers I can trust to buy one from, knowing that the parts are all original and there isn't something amiss or shady.

Thank you!

Seems inventory is low in a lot of these.

Do you know anything about SecondTimeAround.com?
The reviews overall seem really good. I've been researching a lot and I still have very little idea as to what a decent price is. Still learning.

I personally haven’t used any of the dealers suggested here. I have both most of my vintage Rolexes from trusted dealers on Chrono24.com

Not a red Rolex Sub ghost bezel or a Tudor Sub, but just as tough!

First day wearing my 1603 since getting the bracelet I sent to MY back from restoration. So much better than the aftermarket one I had on it before.
