This specific ref. 1603 from 1972 would make a great start for a new vintage collector or be a great addition to an expanding collection. We love the early Rolex DateJust for its simplicity and its classic sophistication. The engine turned bezel yields a classic and less dressed look compared to a gold fluted bezel more commonly found on the DateJust. In our opinion, the engine turned bezel provides the wearer more flexibility in wearability; such as a casual social setting or a classy event, where the fluted bezel although stunning, lends itself to a more refined and dressed feel. This specific example just received a complete overhaul and is running flawlessly!
