Datejust 36 1603

Introducing a wonderful Rolex vintage watch. This is the Rolex Datejust REF.1603 engine-turned bezel ivory berley dial model. It is a watch that is highly sought after and popular among watch enthusiasts and professional collectors due to its considerable rarity and collectible value. There are several things that make this watch so appealing, But the most important thing is that it is a perfect vintage watch with the rarity of the bezel, Dial, And bracelet. This is a watch that is completely different from the vintage Rolexes that we usually see, And I think it is a 'holy trinity' that combines all the elements of a vintage Rolex Datejust, Both collectible value and rarity. I will explain it slowly, One by one. First, The dial. This is a watch with the world-renowned Berkeley Ivory dial from the Dayjust Vintage. The berley dial is one of the most rare dials on Rolex Datejust vintage watches. In the past, It was occasionally seen, But as time went by, It has gradually reached an era where it is difficult to see. (★See photo) The printed Roman index is a dial that Rolex produced on a trial basis, So it has considerable collection and rarity value. It is a must-collect Rolex item that Rolex collectors around the world always have at least one of. The origin of the Buckley dial starts in the United States. There was a very famous vintage watch specialty store called Tuscany Rose in New York, USA, And the dial was named after its president, John Buckley. Although it was not a name directly created by Rolex, John Berkeley named the dial after the Roman numerals, Which were very rare at the time, As part of a movement to preserve a small number of rare and valuable dials of vintage Rolexes, And they were called John Berkeley dials. Since then, The vintage watch market has developed rapidly. I have seen and owned many vintage Datejusts, But the Berkeley dial has always been the most satisfying. In fact, This is the most common opinion among many watch experts, And the subtle color of ivory along with the black Roman printed numerals stimulate the vintage sensibility to the fullest. This watch is different from the commonly found Dayjusts that are mostly painted in color or have diamonds in them, And is recommended for those who truly have depth and understanding of vintage watches. The Ivory Berkeley Black Roman Dial is a watch that can be called a true Day-Date master that you can never get tired of looking at. Second, It has a bezel that is a little different from the regular Datejust. In the case of the 1603, Rather than the 1601, It has an engine-turned bezel instead of a fluted bezel like most other Datejusts. This is a Datejust model that is differentiated from the general Datejust design, Has a much lower production volume and is rare, So it is mainly worn by watch collectors and enthusiasts. Sometimes, When you look at second-hand markets, You may see watches that are model 1603 but have the bezel replaced with a regular Day-Date fluted bezel and are sold as a different watch. However, This model is a genuine set of a genuine 1603 case and a genuine 1603 engine-turned bezel. The Engine-Turned model can be seen as emphasizing a unique sportiness and casualness. It was seen occasionally in the past, But these days it has become a very rare model. This is a watch with a much more sporty design than the typical fluted watch, And it is a Datejust model that goes well with casual wear. (★See photo) Thirdly, While general Datejust models come with a 20mm Jubilee bracelet, Special models like this one are sometimes released with a 20mm three-line Oyster bracelet instead of a Jubilee bracelet. This is not the 19mm Oyster bracelet that goes on the regular Oyster or manual-winding models, But a 20mm Oyster bracelet specifically for the vintage Submariner and vintage Daytona. In the past, A 20mm Jubilee bracelet like the Datejust could usually be purchased for around 1.5 to 2 million won, But since less than 5% of the 20mm Oyster bracelets were produced, The bracelet itself, Excluding the watch, Has a considerably high rarity value in modern times. For reference, The price of a vintage genuine 20mm Oyster bracelet is currently between 2 and 3 million won, Depending on the condition. The price is for the bracelet only, Excluding the watch. We do not sell the bracelet separately, But we will transfer it together with the stylish ivory berley dial datejust vintage model in its original condition. (★See photo) As time has passed, There are not many bracelets left in good condition, So vintage Rolex bracelets are highly sought after and in demand by watch enthusiasts and professional watch collectors. The internal movement is the Rolex in-house movement Cal. 1570, Which is a Rolex movement with excellent durability and stability that has not broken down even after a long time, To the point that it has been nicknamed the Tank. With an Oyster case and screw crown specifically designed for water resistance, You can wear it comfortably without worrying about water resistance. In overseas markets, The current Datejust Berkeley dial model is priced between 9 million and 11 million won depending on the condition of the dial. (★See photo) The watch is in very good condition overall as you can see in the photos, And most importantly, The dial is in perfect condition without any scratches or dents. The Oyster bracelet is also much more durable than the Jubilee and has no stretching at all. Considering that it is domestic, I am giving it to you at a relatively low price. I think that this is a watch that you can wear continuously and pass on to your children without any problems. This is one of the best vintage watches, Especially recommended to enthusiasts who have a deep love and understanding of vintage and all information about watches.* Please order considering that this is an old vintage product. * Although it is an old product, It is still in its original condition and shows traces of time both inside and outside the watch.Therefore, If you want the sophistication and neatness of the new product, We strongly urge you to reconsider carefully before ordering. * Please note that as this is an older product, Some parts may be damaged or the waterproof function may be reduced.
