Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 non-date model 124300 on Oyster 72JB10 bracelet with extremely desirable turquoise blue / index baton dial nick-named the “Tiffany” dial by excited collectors because of its similarity to the famous jewellery brand's packaging.

£13,999 Stock number: 22-59-014UNWORN and in delivery stickers : short-lived but popular version of the Sea-Dweller that was discontinued some years ago ! Stainless steel Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 model 116600 (sometimes known as the “SDc”) with black dial and ceramic bezel insert on Oyster Glidelock 97400 bracelet. Comes with both boxes, Sea-Dweller 4000 booklet, both swing-tags and international Rolex warranty card dated December 2016. The NEW equivalent is now £11,650 but this model now has a market all of its own, being seen by many as the last of the true, practical Sea-Dwellers (later models either had a cyclops lens on their glass or became extremely large in “DeepSea” form).

This watch was offered at £1,699 from 21st June 2023 until 2nd January 2024.

£4,999 Stock number: 52-69-02936mm bicolour Rolex Datejust “Turn-o-Graph” model 16263 with bright white / baton dial on Oyster 78363 bracelet.

The last NEW equivalent finally appeared in Rolex UK’s November 2016 price list at £7,850!

Please note that while this model features a time-lapse bezel it is essentially a dress watch.

£6,499 Stock number: 52-63-023Outstanding gold Rolex from the later 1970s! 34mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date model 1503 / 8 in 18ct yellow gold with classic champagne / baton dial. The condition of the case, bezel and bracelet indicate that despite its age this watch has so far been only rarely and carefully worn. It is correctly fitted with a light-weight “rivet” Oyster bracelet which is in superb condition, but this type of bracelet does not cope well if given a hard life and so we recommend that this watch be bought for DRESS wear only. Comes with vintage YOUR ROLEX OYSTER instruction booklet, modern Rolex boxes, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. Please note : (1) we no longer guarantee these older models to be water-resistant (2) this 1575 calibre model correctly has no “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, so the wearer must turn the hands through 24 hours to advance or reverse the date and (3) while the bracelet is in exceptional condition, this “rivet” style never proved especially strong and we suggest that it is kept for dress wear only. Ask one of our Rolex-trained specialists, Phil or Paul, to discuss this watch with you.
SOLD

In very pleasing condition but we do note some signs of wear to the bracelet and that the glass is a generic replacement, not by Rolex. The NEW equivalent is now £12,400 !
SOLD
£2,399 Stock number: 50-53-038Gent’s stainless steel Cartier Santos quartz bracelet watch, case style 1564 with creamy / roman numeral dial. This watch is in very good condition but please note that (1) the glass is a high quality generic replacement and (2) we advise that models with simple push-in crowns like this should not be considered water-proof. Sold with our own presentation box, warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.

£4,299 Stock number: 52-67-02026mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 69173 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with attractive silver / baton dial. In very nice condition with Rolex 69173 box set, hand-written UK papers from A.E.Halfhide in Wimbledon dated August 1985, a Rolex UK service card dated April 2012 and a later Oyster booklet. We believe that either a new clasp or bracelet was fitted during that 2012 service, as it now has a CX4 clasp code and the later style of end-links. The NEW equivalent is now £8,850! Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.
SOLD
£5,599 Stock number: 80-67-00526mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 79173 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with champagne / diamond dot dial in the later style with larger settings.

In very pleasing condition, it now comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.The NEW equivalent is now £10,950 ! Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.

£7,199 Stock number: 52-68-019Stainless steel Rolex Datejust 41 model 126300 with popular BLUE / index baton dial on Oyster 72610 bracelet. In outstanding condition with negligible wear to the glass, it comes with both boxes, Datejust booklet, both swing-tags and international Rolex warranty card dated December 2020. The NEW RRP is now £6,800 but many steel models are still hard to find in the UK, so there is a small premium to the new list price. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck! Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.

SOLD
£3,199 Stock number: 52-67-028Bicolour Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 1601(3) from around 1973 with champagne / baton “pie-pan” dial *. This early style of Jubilee 6252H14 bracelet with folded metal links is correct (14 relating to the yellow metal content and suggesting it was first supplied to the USA). Inevitably, at around 50 years old it shows signs of age and wear (reflected in the price) and we recommend that this watch now be saved for dress wear. Originally this watch will have been fitted with the softer, acrylic glass but has more recently been fitted with a generic synthetic sapphire glass that is NOT by Rolex. Typically these are harder-wearing than the originals, although a vintage purist might wish to revert. Because of its age, we offer this watch with only a ONE year warranty and ask you to note : (1) we no longer guarantee these older models to be water-resistant (2) this 1575 calibre model correctly has no “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, so the wearer must turn the hands through 24 hours to advance or reverse the date and (3) the bracelet especially shows signs of age. Ask one of our Rolex-trained specialists, Phil or Paul, to discuss this watch with you. It is priced very reasonably to reflect all the above and comes with a generic presentation box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.
* This name reflects the dial profile, its chapter ring edge dropping away from the main, central surface.
SOLD
£5,499 Stock number: 52-66-01431mm / mid-size bicolour Rolex Datejust model 68273 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with genuine champagne / diamond dot dial by Rolex. It also has a diamond-set bezel which has been custom-made, NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts to customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one that is already fitted there always seems to be a queue of buyers! This 1988 watch is in very pleasing condition, but we do note moderate wear to the bracelet, which is reflected in the price. It comes with later Rolex box, Oyster booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW equivalent (with just a plain, fluted gold bezel) is now £11,250 !
SOLD
£4,499 Stock number: 52-67-01631mm / mid-size stainless steel and white metal Rolex Datejust model 78274 with salmon-pink / applied Roman numeral dial on Jubilee 63110 bracelet.

SOLD
£5,199 Stock number: 52-67-02931mm / mid-size stainless steel Rolex Datejust model 178240 with gorgeous, cool pink / index baton dial on Oyster 72160 bracelet. In beautiful condition, it comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and UK warranty card from G.H.Dipple & Son in Norwich dated December 2013. The NEW equivalent is now £6,100 but supply still seems not to be meeting demand and good examples with popular dials like this attract a premium.
SOLD
£30,999 Stock number: 52-67-026Most impressive gold Daytona! Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116505 in 18ct rose gold with “chocolate” (brown) / applied Arabic numeral dial on Oysterlock 78595 bracelet. Comes with large Rolex boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet and red swing-tag. It also has its international Rolex warranty card from Belgium, although we believe the hand-written date of sale to have been altered. From the watch’s random case number and the style of warranty card, we believe that this watch will actually have been supplied between 2010 and 2014. It is in excellent condition with immaculate bracelet and negligible wear to the glass / bezel. The NEW equivalent is now £35,800 but lack of availability continues to support strong residual prices.
We cannot accept cash for items of such high value. Please ask for one of our watch specialists if you would like to view the watch in our private / secure sales facility or to enquire about acceptable payment methods.
SOLD
£27,999 Stock number: 52-67-023The epitome of “stealth wealth” : 18ct white gold Daytona, in excellent condition after spending much of its short life in a safe! 18ct white gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116519LN with smart “steel / bright black” / index baton dial, black Oysterflex strap and ceramic bezel. Both black rubber sections of the strap are NEW, supplied in 2023 by a Rolex main agent. These models are just as likely to be worn by gents or ladies now. Has large, original boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet, green swing-tag and UK warranty card from The Watches of Switzerland Group (Goldsmiths etc) dated August 2019. The NEW equivalent is now £27,050 but availability of many similar specification Daytonas remains poor, so we are selling it at a small premium (but less than many other dealers). The strap will fit a man’s average wrist and offers a small amount of adjustment, but if a different length is required we will order one on an exchange basis. We would anticipate doing this at no additional cost, but there may be some weeks’ wait for such a strap to arrive from Rolex. Additional pictures may be viewed by clicking through the main image.

£8,199 Stock number: 82-66-008Collectible, “full set” 1989 Submariner ! In production for just over twenty years, this is one of the earliest examples of the stainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 16610 with black bezel insert and tritium dial on 93150 bracelet. It comes with original 16610 box set (ref 68.00.2 with cushion & wrap / cardboard outer and in exceptional condition), both ROLEX SUBMARINER and YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklets *, both red COSC chronometer swing-tag and the numbered green “OYSTER SWIMPRUF” swing-tag, UK papers from Lepps in Warrington dated August 1989 in black document holder with translation leaflet, Rolex 1989-1990 calendar card and even the novelty “silver string” Rolex 1.000 / 300 anchor charm – accessories which on their own are worth several hundred pounds but when still accompanying the unique watch with which they were supplied add so much more ! The bracelet is in excellent condition, has correct 501 B end links and an “M11” clasp code suggesting manufacture of that part in November 1988. The watch head with L249xxx case number is in very good condition with thick lugs and only minor signs of wear to glass and bezel insert. The “SWISS – T < 25” dial is original and like many from this era it is a “spider” dial — that is to say, its gloss black surface has over time “crazed” with a fine pattern that is often hard to see with the naked eye, usually stable and resembles threads of a spider’s silk under magnification. A macro (close-up) image to illustrate this may be viewed by clicking through the main picture. It correctly has a 16610 case-back marked inside with the first four characters of the case number and a 3135 calibre Rolex movement bearing unique number 5223450. It still has the original green factory sticker, albeit quite worn, on the case-back! The larger, NEW equivalent Submariner is now £9,000 (if you can find one….) but the earlier models have proved increasingly popular in their own right and a “full set” like this is increasingly rare on the market.
* The Submariner booklet is a particularly desirable version. It has the print code “594.52 Eng – 7 – 9.1988” which indicates that it was intended for the English market and printed in September 1988. Importantly, it includes pictures / instructions for two very desirable models, the non-date Submariner 5513 and the Sea-Dweller 16660.

As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts to customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one that is already fitted there always seems to be a queue of buyers! This early 1990s watch is in very pleasing condition with only moderate wear to the bracelet. Comes with later Rolex box, YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.

A previous owner also had a diamond-set bezel fitted elsewhere, although this part is custom-made and NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts on customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one already fitted like this there always seems to be a queue of buyers! In very good condition, it comes with large Rolex box set, Datejust booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK papers from Mappin & Webb in Glasgow dated May 1995.

£6,299 Stock number: 82-67-01226mm Rolex Datejust in 18ct yellow gold, model 69178 with sparkling champagne / diamond dot dial on President 8570 bracelet. This 1990 model comes with large, original “tapestry top” box set, YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet, original shop receipt from Rolex main agents F.A.Buck Jewellers Ltd in Stoke-on-Trent dated March 1991, Rolex UK service slip dated June 2004, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The watch itself is largely in very good condition but we note moderate signs of age / wear to bracelet and some discolouration to parts of the dial, reflected in the price. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £25,400! We would generally recommend that any gold Rolex of this age should be considered a dress watch, not intended for hard wear.

£8,999 Stock number: 52-67-017Still in stickers from Rolex UK Service! 36mm Rolex Datejust model 16238 in 18ct yellow gold with silver / diamond dot dial dial on a Rolex strap. This circa 1990 model comes with brown “luggage” style Rolex box, Datejust booklet, a scanned extract of Rolex UK service paperwork and their service guarantee card dated March 2021. At that time the watch enjoyed £1,192 worth of work including a full movement overhaul, new glass, spring-bars, crown, alligator strap and gold-plated Rolex pin-buckle! It was 2011 when a NEW equivalent 36mm gold Datejust on a strap was last offered in the UK and with a diamond dot dial this would have cost £13,630 then. Prices generally have risen very considerably in the 12 following years ! This watch is in excellent condition and we believe it has been barely out of the box since the 2021 service. Under close examination we can see some signs of superficial, historic grazing to the bezel and that the model number has worn off, but the crucial, unique case number is very clear and this corresponds with Rolex’s records, confirming it to be a 16238. Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.

£8,299 Stock number: 52-67-001Colourful variant, no longer offered by Rolex ! 40mm stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss model 116400GV on Oyster 72400A bracelet with “Z-Blue” / index dial, orange “lightning bolt” seconds hand and green-tinted synthetic sapphire glass. Has Rolex boxes, Milgauss booklet, red swing-tag and and UK warranty card from John D. Eaton Ltd in Derby dated October 2014. The highly anti-magnetic Milgauss models were re-introduced into the Rolex range over 15 years ago but this last version with its striking green glass / blue dial was especially popular. When it last appeared in UK price lists the NEW RRP was £7,850, but like many of the more unusual steel Professional models, it was always a very hard watch to source at main agents. Interest has only increased now production seems to have stopped. Priced reasonably to reflect superficial wear to the edge of the glass.

£9,699 Stock number: 52-67-006Stainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 116610LN with black dial and ceramic bezel insert on Oyster Glidelock 97200 bracelet. This watch is in excellent condition, coming with Rolex boxes, Submariner Date booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK warranty card from H. Johnson & Son in Nuneaton dated December 2013. The NEW equivalent is now £8,650 but both versions have been very hard to find in the UK, so we are selling it at a premium. Clearly if you can find a new one at RRP then you should buy it – we wish we could!

£12,499 Stock number: 52-66-010Desirable model in beautiful condition ! 42mm stainless steel and white metal Rolex Sky-Dweller model 326934 with black / index baton dial on Oyster 72220 bracelet. As with the Rolex Daytona, it seems that a steel Rolex with complicated functions can prove exceptionally popular. Comes with Rolex boxes, Sky-Dweller booklet, green COSC swing-tag, five-year warranty translation booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. It has also just had a new glass fitted by Rolex UK. Most other examples on the market at the time of writing have their original warranty card and are priced well above the NEW equivalent which is £13,650 (and clearly if you could obtain one for that price then you should). Our keen price reflects the fact that this watch lacks its original warranty card, but it remains one of the most desirable models, in superb condition and — crucially — is available today.

£13,999 Stock number: 52-66-009-51-05-074Stainless steel Daytona with box and 2014 warranty card, a former insurance write-off now revived with parts from another steel Daytona and priced to reflect its compromised status. Stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116520, case number 1J9715U9 with black dial on Oysterlock 78490 bracelet. Has Rolex boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet, red swing-tag and international Rolex warranty card dated July 2014 when it appears to have been sold in Japan (possibly by the Rolex main agent Tompkins). This random case number watch is now in very attractive condition but its history and status needs to be documented clearly. We bought it in May 2018 from insurers in an unsaleable state. It had no bracelet, a fake black ceramic bezel and a skeletonised dial with broken balance assembly in its correct Rolex 4130 calibre movement. Insurers had asked Rolex UK to restore it but in January 2018 the latter rejected it because of the modifications. Rolex often “black-ball” such a watch and will not then service it again, although independent watch-makers can. We bought it as it was, in the hope of one day restoring it or using the parts. Then in June 2023 we bought another Rolex Daytona 116520 (circa 2005) from a regional UK police force. This second watch was also unsaleable in its own right because its mid-case had been re-numbered ( to F981806 ), but we realised that it could be the donor of other parts for the first watch. We then fitted the correct Rolex steel bezel and black dial from the second Daytona onto the first, with the Oysterlock 78490 bracelet and complete balance assembly (non-Parachrom). It should be noted that the 2014 watch we are selling would have had a 78590 bracelet rather than the almost identical 78490 from the 2005 watch that has been fitted, similarly it would have had a Parachrom balance rather than the non-Parachrom from the earlier watch, while the glass fitted is generic, not by Rolex. The latest ceramic bezel model now has a NEW RRP of £12,700 but like its predecessors will be almost impossible to get from main agents and found on the secondary market offered with a large premium. The earlier 116520 is an enduringly popular choice and remains in its own right one of the most sought after models. If you have any questions about this watch, please ask to speak with one of Miltons Watch Team, including two former managers of Rolex main agents. For interest only, an image of the watch that we are selling shown next to the “left-over” parts assembled in a second, monstrous watch that we won't be retailing may be viewed by clicking through the main picture. A tabular record of the parts used from the two source watches should also then be visible.

£6,399 Stock number: 82-66-00636mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 16203 with polished bezel on Oyster 78363 bracelet with striking black / diamond dot dial. Comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The diamond dial is a genuine Rolex one and correct for this model, but appears to be from a slightly earlier period and has been fitted retrospectively. Champagne and silver dials were much more common, but many will seek out the rarer black dial which creates such a lovely contrast against the sparkling diamonds. This 2001 model is in excellent condition but we do note that the glass is a generic replacement, not by Rolex. The NEW equivalent is now £11,750! Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.

£6,299 Stock number: 62-66-00236mm stainless steel Rolex Datejust model 116200 with pink / index baton dial on Jubilee 63600 bracelet. The watch has been fitted previously with a custom-made diamond-set bezel which is NOT by Rolex. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such individual parts on customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one already fitted like this there always seems to be a queue of buyers! In excellent condition with minimal wear to the glass, it comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and international warranty card dated August 2015. The nearest NEW equivalent (with just a polished steel bezel) now has an RRP of £6,450 — but availability of most stainless steel models is currently very poor, keeping residual prices very strong.

It comes with a Cartier box, Roadster instructions booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.

£3,899 Stock number: 80-60-004Lady’s 26mm stainless steel Rolex Datejust model 69174 on Jubilee 62510 bracelet with silver / diamond dot dial and diamond bezel which have been custom-made, NOT by Rolex. Please note that while this style of channel-set bezel creates a sparkling piece, stones may be lost if it suffers hard wear or a sharp knock — so we advise that it is used for dress wear only. As loyal devotees to the Rolex brand we are not great fans of customised pieces and will not supply such parts on customer request, but when our pawnbroking departments are left with one already fitted like this there always seems to be a queue of buyers! This 1997 model is in very pleasing condition but under close examination we do not some minor signs of age / wear to the dial and bracelet.

£1,599 Stock number: 50-66-03044mm stainless steel Breitling Colt Chronograph II quartz bracelet watch. This model A73388 with black dial / silver sub-dials was manufactured in 2015 and is in very good condition with only superficial wear to glass and bezel, having spent much of its short life in our pawnbroking safes. It comes with original Breitling pouch, numbered swing-tag, a Chrono Colt II instruction booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. This model is no longer produced but the new price in July 2016 was £2,910. Please ask for a demonstration by our Breitling-trained colleagues, Phil Ellison or Paul Aspinall.

In superb condition, it comes with both boxes, Oyster Perpetual booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK warranty card from David M. Robinson in Liverpool dated November 2013. A NEW Air-King now costs £6,250 but in truth a closer new equivalent may be the plain Oyster Perpetual 34 model 124200 at £4,850. Supply is still not meeting demand and residual prices of such watches remain very strong.

£13,999 Stock number: 52-66-0032022 watch with latest dial – barely worn after spending much of its short life in the safe! 44mm stainless steel Rolex Yachtmaster II model 116680 with white dial and blue ceramic bezel insert on Oysterlock 78210 bracelet. Has both boxes, Yachtmaster II instruction booklet, both swing-tags and international Rolex warranty card dated June 2022, when it was purchased from Goldsmiths in Liverpool. The NEW RRP is now £16,000 but (as with many steel versions of the Rolex professional series) supply is limited and residual prices have a life of their own. This is a complicated watch but fortunately it retains the valuable instruction booklet. Rolex also provide a video guide on their website, which we can locate for you if required. Please note the triangular marker at the top of the dial, where earlier examples had just a square marker like those either side of it.

These models are just as likely to be worn by gents or ladies now. Has large, original boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet, green swing-tag and international Rolex warranty card dated September 2021. The NEW equivalent is now £27,050 but availability of any similar specification Daytona remains poor, so we are selling it at a small premium (but less than many other dealers). The strap will fit a man’s average wrist and offers a small amount of adjustment, but if a different length is required we will order one on an exchange basis. We would anticipate doing this at no additional cost, but there may be some weeks’ wait for such a strap to arrive from Rolex. Additional pictures may be viewed by clicking through the main image.

As with the Rolex Daytona, it seems that a steel Rolex with complicated functions can prove exceptionally popular – and very difficult to buy new from a main agent. We are selling it at a premium to the new list price. Comes with original boxes, Sky-Dweller booklet, both swing-tags, international Rolex warranty card dated January 2023 and even the delivery bezel protector.

Has Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, red swing-tag, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. This exact dial is no longer offered, but we can deduce that if Rolex made one a NEW equivalent would now be £13,450 (£13,100 for a standard diamond “VI” dial, plus £350 premium for MoP). Availability of such models continues to be poor, keeping residual prices very strong. This watch has a random case number, which means it must date from around 2010 ~ 2018.

This stunning piece is in brilliant condition (well, it’s probably not a watch for every day wear!) and it even has the case-back sticker still in place. Comes with HUGE Rolex presentation / jewellery box set, Datejust booklet, red chronometer swing-tag and original UK papers dated August 2006. From our archived records we have found this exact specification offered in the Rolex UK October 2008 price list (shortly before it appears to have been discontinued) at £45,510 …but prices for new watches have risen enormously since then. Further images may be viewed by clicking through the main picture. Please note that this style of bracelet correctly has plain gold links (without diamonds) on the clasp side, where any diamond setting would be more exposed to wear and damage.

£4,499 Stock number: 52-63-007Bought from a large, private collection, this “safe-queen” from 2001 looks like it has just come from the shop! Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King Precision model 14010M with popular blue / 3-6-9 dial on Oyster 78350 bracelet. It comes with Rolex boxes, Your Rolex Oyster booklet and blank, undated UK papers from Fraser Hart. The previous owner had around twenty mint Rolex watches, many of them never worn, and this one is another stunner, having even its original sticker still on the case-back! A NEW Air-King now costs £6,250 if you can find one, but realistically a closer new equivalent may be the plain Oyster Perpetual 34 model 124200 at £4,850….and neither watch is readily available at the time of writing.

£3,299 Stock number: 52-70-00536mm stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 1603 from the late 1970s with silver / baton “pie-pan” dial and Jubilee 62510 bracelet. It has been fitted with a synthetic sapphire glass that is not by Rolex, to update the older and more easily marked acrylic glass. We don't as a rule approve of such work, but this appears to have been very well executed, it modernises the watch and tests well for water-resistance. Because of its age, we offer it with only a ONE year warranty and ask you to note : (1) this model correctly has no “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, so the wearer must turn the hands through 24 hours to advance the date and (2) the bracelet shows some signs of age and wear. It is priced very reasonably to reflect the above. Comes with our own presentation box & warranty card, and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. With a similar, NEW 36mm Datejust today costing £6,650 it is easy to see why such vintage models appear increasingly attractive. Please ask one of our Rolex-trained specialists, Phil or Paul, to discuss this watch with you.

The larger, NEW equivalent is now £8,650 (if you can find one!), but the earlier models have proved increasingly popular in their own right. This F34xxxx case number watch from around 2004 is in very good condition but we do note some minor scratching to the bezel insert, reflected in the price. With prior notice, we could fit a new, genuine Rolex bezel insert on an exchange basis for a separate repair charge of £75.
We cannot accept cash for items of such high value. Please ask if you would like to view the watch in our private / secure sales facility or to enquire about acceptable payment methods.

£4,999 Stock number: 50-64-021Limited edition “SPECTRE” James Bond model – and what a set ! Gent's stainless steel Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial Chronometer automatic bracelet watch, model 231.10.42.21.03.004. This special edition was one in a series created to celebrate the brand's association with the modern Bond films. It has a dark blue dial with background motif picking up detail from the Bond family crest (also depicted in miniature on the second hand) and yellow details including the Bond-branded “15007” text, this being the number of examples manufactured. Its 8507 calibre movement is beautifully revealed by the glass display-back, allowing admirers to see the rotor with subtle “bullet case” design to the centre and swirled “rifling” design, reminiscent of the film series' opening credit sequence. In excellent condition, it comes with huge Omega box set *, instruction book, branded eye-glass, instruction leaflet and tool for swapping bracelet and strap, the alternate blue strap with yellow stitching (superb condition), international warranty card dated January 2017 in blue card-holder, numbered certificate of authenticity and a receipt for a service under warranty performed through David M. Robinson in June 2019. Some additional photographs are available if one clicks through the main image. Please ask for one of our specialist Watch Team to discuss this interesting watch with you.
* The inner box is beautifully finished with the repeating motif seen on the watch dial and the “Bond family crest” for its push-button opener, but the cardboard outer carton shows signs of wear and damage, its vulnerable, fold-down front flap completely missing.

* Ladies’ Rolex Datejusts of this generation are often now found with one or more of the numerals in the case number obscured by bracelet wear. This was caused by the end-links rubbing constantly against the case. In this instance the fifth digit is partially obscured by bracelet wear, so we have checked all of the possible case numbers it might be….which is why we offer it with six ALR certificates, confirming that each of the possible numbers has been checked with them.
