Dial
Excellent period correct glossy dial with white print on the dial instead of the usual gilt from the time period. The font and print is identical to that of a gilt dial from this period. Unique to this watch is the white print typically found on the following generation of dials which were matte. The markers have aged to an even creamy yellow patina. The glossy finish on the dial is in excellent condition with only slight imperfections. It is a unique dial composition from the period when Rolex was converting from gilt dials to matte dials.
Hands
Excellent Tritium hands that match the dial.
Bracelet/Strap
Excellent premium vintage-style distressed leather strap.
