The centerpiece of the watch is its beautiful silver textured finish dial with very cool handpainted picture of Mickey Mouse.
The Oysterdate Precision have become desirable non-sport vintage Rolex watches because their understated and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches. It's a watch that is at home being worn everyday or only for special occasions. Produced from the early 1950's into the 1980's, it was a strong commercial success for Rolex, winning a large following.
Housing the watch is its original classic Rolex Oyster case and original Rolex handwound movement with date. It measures 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.
It has fully Rolex parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.
Its case presents in mint condition with signs of previous polishing. Its original Rolex dial has been meticulously restored to mint condition and has been perfectly custom hand painted with Mickey Mouse.
Overall it presents in gorgeous condition, freshly expertly refurbished close to like new.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).
Its movement is near pristine clean. It continues to keep time on par with a new Rolex in our test position. Photos of the inside available upon request.
For the finishing touch it has been equipped it with a brand new Italian calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
