First Vintage/older Rolex
I’ll be honest, these older watches never really sang to me but I appreciate them for what they are. I think this particular example was well kept and looks fantastic. Knowing myself it will be in the for sale forum in a few months but only time shall tell. I got a really good deal for a compete full set and decided if I am ever going to get one now is the the time. Wears great and fits perfect.
Very nice specimen. Do you have the service history on this one? Since it is a Tritium dial, it must be more than 20 years old. Did they change the hands?
You should keep it. A real beauty!
Best,
Nicolas
I do have the details.
The watch is Circa 1998 all original. The hands have some patina. It’s a T dial but has the luminova as they made the switch. So from what I hear there wasn’t too many with this combination (not sure though)
and has been serviced 1 year ago but no parts needed changing...
It’s running +2 a day, no issues at all. Winds smooth. I am actually in shock that a 20 year old movement runs so well.

Had to be true
I can’t believe it keeps such good time. I have had modern watches that run worse.
Pal this is a modern watch
all what you find in your GMT is 99.9% state of the art technology (swiss lever mechanical watchmaking wise), silicone,ceramics etc are nice trials and may or may not help to make mechanical watches more accurate and reliable but their main role to get attention(marketing) .Any 5digit Rolex with a 3135mvnt ,sapphire crystal and oyster bracelet ticks all the boxes of a standard a modern watch,
But Rolex and all the other watch companies are profit oriented organizations if no new customers no more profit so basically they all try to sell the same in a new package again, again and again...
Be happy with your acquisition it s one of the last hero of the golden age!

There's a big charm with the 5 digit Rolex. Love the faded insert on this. [nt]

Go for it. It's your passion. It needs to become a reality. 😅
Like the fading of the bezel. 👍
