FS: 1968 Rolex 1018 Oyster Perpetual

Up for sale is a beautiful and rare gilt glossy Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1018 from my personal collection. It's simple, beautiful and elegant watch housed in a 36mm case like its explorer (1016) and milgauss (1019) cousins.

Background context: bought from the famous watch blog’s pop up store event in London earlier this year. I was explained it’s rarity compared to the others especially in its original state.

Case: 36mm (supposedly a thinner case than 1016/1019) and wears lower, thus bigger appearance. Case number 1738XXX

Dial: Rare deep black glossy dial with gilt writing. There are light hairline hour hand drag marks (which are visible under a loupe and when the light hits from a certain angle on the watch). To me these weren’t a distraction.

Additional info: I believe there seems to be a spec of dust caught under the crystal under the 2 o’clock position

Payment: bank wire accepted and face to face for those in HK / SH

Returns accepted if not 100% rolex within 72 hours

Watch is sold head only with the asking price of 5500USD shipped or face to face deal in Hong Kong / Shanghai.
