About the Item

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 with a 5.0 star rating. 1964 ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL Vintage Mens Watch with Rare Underline Dial - 14K Gold Rare Underline Dial - All Original - 1 Year Warranty Possessing refined elegance and clean lines this vintage Rolex ref. 1005 Oyster Perpetual showcases a truly timeless style. As precise as it is classic, this watch is powered by a well-regarded movement, one of the mechanisms that powered early Submariner, Explorer, and GMT models. Featuring a classic silver dial, engine turned indexed bezel on its 14K gold case, and equipped with a Teju strap this watch has an elegant and understated vintage look. But what really sets it apart for the true collector is its rare untouched "underline dial." The four word, two-line has a Rolex factory printed underline highlighting the words. We were fortunate to acquire it with all of its original parts. The engine turning on the bezel is light and not present in a few spots. On the underside the backs of the lugs showcase leftover wear from a metal bracelet and the back has three indentions not visible while the watch is being worn. It has been priced accordingly. It presents nicely on the wrist. Its rare original "Underline Dial," with wonderful retro styled baton indices, is in excellent condition with only fairly light natural aging and toning, giving it a true vintage look. 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, 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 mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value). For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket Teju lizard strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. A published example of this model can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Guido Mondani editor, Vol. 1, pg. 262.

1961 Rolex Vintage Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird Datejust 18K Gold SS Watch
By Rolex
Located in Suwanee, GA
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. 1961 ROLEX Vintage Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird Datejust Mens Watch, 1625 - Stainless Steel & 18K Gold The Most Expensive of All the Datejust Models - Original - Serviced with Warranty Launched around 1953, the vintage Turn-O-Graph was designed for adventure lovers. It gained notoriety due to its use by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird Flight Aerobatic Flight Team. It features a bi-directional bezel to measure elapsed time, making it the most functional and expensive watch in the Datejust line. In fact, prior to the introduction of the Day-Date President, the solid gold Turn-O-Graph was the most expensive Rolex cataloged. The watch did not originally enjoy terribly strong sales success and thus not a tremendous number were made, making vintage examples sought after by collectors. Here are some of this watch's features: Desirable vintage Turn-O-Graph Beautiful champagne pie-pan dial which gives the watch a classic and more elegant look Solid 18K gold rotating bezel designed to measure elapsed time Officially Certified Chronometer caliber 1570 movement - a mechanism that powered models of the Datejusts as well as early Submariner, Explorer, and GMT models Rolex crimped link Jubilee bracelet Our vintage Turn-O-Graph has fully Rolex parts and presents in pleasing condition. Its case presents in excellent condition with signs of polishing to the back. Its bezel shows fairly mild to moderate signs of previous polishing. On the wrist, it presents as scratch-free. Its untouched original dial has become slightly tropical giving it a true vintage look. 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, 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 including a new tube and crown that screw down very well, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $1295 value). It is running very strong and true, keeping essentially on par with a new Rolex watch in our testing recording position. For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. Note: A published example of this model can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Guido Mondani editor, Vol. 2, pg. 39. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts.
