NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers via other online sites with a 5.0 star rating. 1960's ROLEX Vintage Mens Ultra Thin Pre-Cellini Handwound Dress Watch - 14K Gold Very Fine Vintage Rolex - Ultra Thin Design - Box, Cloth & Booklet - 1 Year Warranty In vintage times, in the midst of their high output of utilitarian sports watches, Rolex also made much more elegant dress watches. These fine wristwatches often combine a superior mechanism with beautiful aesthetics. The ultra-thin gentleman's vintage Rolex made for the U.S. market showcased in today's offering is a classic example of this phenomenon. It features timeless, elegant styling and a superbly executed handwound movement. Epitomizing the essence of 'the classic watch' remembered today, it features a manually wound movement, round gold case, understated dial, slender hands, and simple baton markers.

Its case presents nicely on the wrist. The lugs appear to bow just slightly, and it appears that an inscription was previously polished off of the case back leaving some rippling there. Its silver dial, which some would say is original, we think was restored decades ago in vintage times and is still very clean. One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker (for many years now Rolex has not "certified" watchmakers, they only "train" them), has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex parts, installing a new Rolex mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value). It is running strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Rolex in our testing position. For the finishing touch, we have installed a brand new genuine crocodile strap and aftermarket Rolex...
