1971 ROLEX OYSTER Classic Vintage Mens SS Steel Watch - Minty with Warranty

1971 ROLEX OYSTER Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch, Stainless Steel Superior All Original Condition - Very Classic - 1 Year Warranty

 

 

Beautiful Original Condition - Classic Style - 100% Feedback - 1-Year Warranty One of the more seldom seen classic vintage Rolex watches is the Oyster Precision as Rolex made most watches of this style with a date. It features a much thinner profile than the Perpetual models - its understated, elegant and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches. And this Oyster Precision has a little larger diameter than an Oysterdate and Oyster Perpetual Non-Datejust watches - it's diameter is just one millimeter smaller than a Datejust. We are proud to offer this all-original example in superior condition. Its case presents as virtually scratch-free. And its original and untouched silver linen dial is just short of perfect mint. Our watchmaker has disassembled the entire watch down to the last screw and freshly serviced it and replaced its waterproofing gaskets with new genuine Rolex seals. It winds smoothly and is keeping very accurate time. For the finishing touch it has just been meticulously detailed 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 custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance. Note: Published examples of this model can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Vol. 2, pg. 362.

Our Selling & Shipping Information: 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it! The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof. We have extensive international shipping experience. In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!). All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely. Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in! (Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you - from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled. Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you. But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch! Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you. Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted. To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early. Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa. _______________________________________________________ Payment information - we accept: Paypal Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover via eBay checkout Check (We have to hold the watch until the check clears.)

An estimate can be obtained by using eBay's shipping calculator found in this listing. A $5 (USD) handling fee applies to all international orders.
