£5,999 Stock number: 52-33-00126mm Rolex Datejust model 69178 in 18ct yellow gold on President 8570 bracelet with champagne / diamond dot dial in the later style with larger settings. Comes with original, large 69178 Rolex box-set, Datejust booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The bracelet shows signs of wear but this is reflected in the price. If worn sensibly the watch has much life in it yet. The NEW equivalent is now £22,100!
£4,699 Stock number: 52-23-00326mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 18ct yellow gold, model 6917 with smart, silvery / baton dial on President 8570 bracelet. This early 1980s model is in very pleasing condition and comes with later boxes, Oyster booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The bracelet shows some signs of its age, but with sensible wear it should have plenty of life in it yet. The watch 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. To change the date on this 2030-calibre model, one simply advances the main hands forwards or backwards past midnight. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £20,500!
£6,399 Stock number: 50-24-01118ct yellow gold Rolex Datejust model 69178 on President 8570 bracelet with champagne / diamond dot dial and diamond-set bezel that are both 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 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 circa-1993 model is otherwise in lovely condition. It comes with modern boxes, the Datejust 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 dial and gold, fluted bezel) is now £20,500!
£2,499 Stock number: 62-31-002Classic Rolex Oyster Perpetual, from around 1983! Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King Precision model 5500 with smart silver / baton dial on sturdy Oyster 78350 bracelet. A generic acrylic glass has been fitted more recently. In very pleasing condition, it 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 is an outstanding “entry-level” Oyster Perpetual. Please note that we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant. A NEW Air-King now costs £5,150 but in truth a closer new equivalent may be the plain, 34mm Oyster Perpetual model 124200 at £4,200.

We expect this watch to be available soon but invite early expressions of interest.

£12,499 Stock number: 52-32-0072020 UK watch in pristine condition (though the delivery stickers have been removed). GMT-Master II “BATGIRL” , one of the most desperately sought after models, available TODAY. Rolex GMT-Master II model 126710BLNR with black dial and that distinctive, two-tone bezel on Jubilee 69200 bracelet. We are aware that main agents have hundreds of outstanding requests for this model which at the current rate of supply would not be met for years. Having paid well over RRP for it ourselves, we are in turn selling it at a significant premium to the list price. Ask for our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul to discuss this watch with you. Comes with original boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, both swing-tags and UK warranty card from David M. Robinson dated early 2020. The notional NEW RRP of this model is £7,750 but if you try to find one at that price, prepare to be disappointed.

£5,799 Stock number: 52-31-006Stainless steel 40mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss model 116400GV with black / orange-accent dial, lightning bolt seconds hand and green-tinted synthetic sapphire glass, on Oyster 72400 bracelet. This V76xxxx case-number watch from around 2010 is in wonderful condition with Rolex boxes, Milgauss booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The highly anti-magnetic Milgauss models were re-introduced into the Rolex range over a decade ago but remain very popular. Like many of the more unusual Professional Rolex models in stainless steel, this can be a hard watch to find at main agents if you’re trying to find one. The NEW RRP is now £6,650!
£15,999 Stock number: 52-30-021Stainless steel Rolex Daytona with two Rolex UK service slips….and most unusually a genuine diamond dial, fitted approx 15 years ago! Stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116520 from approximately 2002, on Oysterlock 78490 bracelet. Unusually, soon after first sale the watch was fitted with a black / diamond dot dial that would typically be reserved for 18ct white gold models. Rolex themselves have been happy to accept this unusual specification, having twice now serviced the watch since it was swapped. This K28xxxx case number watch is in excellent condition, having most recently been serviced by Rolex UK in July 2019, though the bezel and bracelet show moderate signs of wear. It comes with genuine Rolex 116520 boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet, the two year Rolex service warranty card dated July 2019 and an earlier one dated February 2007, both of which were carried out through us. We have also provided a certificate from the ALR Watch Register, confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW ceramic bezel models now have an RRP of £10,500 but waiting lists are generally closed and that model is commonly being sold on the secondary market for over £18,000. This has made the previous model 116520 an extremely attractive purchase and it remains in its own right one of the most sought after models in the range. We’ve never seen another steel Daytona 116520 with a diamond dial added like this, but can only speculate whether the first owner wanted it to look like a white gold model — or just fancied some sparkle! For those trying to work out what the diamond dial may be worth, it is a matter of simple mathematics to conclude that at the time of writing a diamond dial adds a £1,600 premium to the new RRP of those white gold Daytonas where it is an option.
£14,299 Stock number: 52-26-011“PEPSI” GMT-Master from January 2020, with UK warranty card and swing-tags! One of the most desperately sought after models, available TODAY, still in some of its delivery stickers after spending almost all of its short life in our safes. Rolex GMT-Master II, so-called “Pepsi” model 126710BLRO with black dial and that distinctive, two-tone bezel on Jubilee 69200 bracelet. We are aware that main agents have hundreds of outstanding requests for this model which at the current rate of supply would not be met for decades. Having paid well over RRP for it ourselves, we are in turn selling it at a significant premium to the list price. Ask for our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul to discuss this watch with you. Comes with original boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, both swing-tags and UK warranty card from The Watches of Switzerland Group dated January 2020. The notional NEW RRP of this model is £7,750 but if you try to find one, prepare to be disappointed.

£8,999 Stock number: 82-30-006Lovely set! 18ct yellow gold Rolex Day-Date model 18038 with champagne / baton dial on President 8385 bracelet with concealed clasp. This 1980s model still has its original, brown box, the increasingly rare Day-Date booklet, numbered green swing-tag and punched Rolex papers — undated and still in their original plastic wallet! It is in excellent condition for its age with few signs of wear to the bracelet. The NEW equivalent is now £26,650 and good, pre-owned examples are increasingly difficult to find, especially with accessories like this.
We are able to supply and fit a genuine Rolex silver / diamond dot dial to this watch on an exchange basis. This would take approximately ten days and cost an additional £1,299. Click here for details.

£2,299 Stock number: 52-30-015Bicolour Rolex Oyster Perpetual non-date model 67193 with classic champagne / baton dial on Jubilee 62523 bracelet. This 1993 model comes with original boxes, undated UK papers from John Pass Watchmakers & Jewellers in Crewe, an Oyster booklet and Rolex UK service card from March 2017. There are some signs of age and wear, especially to the bracelet, but this has been reflected in the price. We recommend that it should now be given a gentler life or saved for dress wear.
SOLD
£8,799 Stock number: 52-31-004A barely-worn beauty! Stainless steel and white metal 26mm Rolex Datejust model 179384 on Jubilee 63130 bracelet with full, original diamond bezel and enchanting black mother of pearl* / diamond dot dial! This watch is in outstanding condition and comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, green swing-tag and UK warranty card from Thurlow Champness in Bury-St-Edmunds dated November 2015. The NEW equivalent is now £14,450!
* so-called “black” mother of pearl in truth displays a range of colours. Here, as often, we would say the dial exhibits an ever-changing display of pink / brown / silver / purple hues as it is played in the light.
£23,499 Stock number: 52-24-030Fresh in stickers from Rolex UK service, which included a new bezel! A most impressive 18ct yellow gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116528 with stunning white mother of pearl / arabic numeral dial on Oysterlock 78498 bracelet. Comes with Rolex boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet / adjustment leaflet, original UK papers from April 2007, Rolex UK service card dated June 2020, red swing-tag and a new bezel-protector. Rolex UK have just carried out £2,120 of work including a movement overhaul, new glass, crown and bezel. The NEW equivalent watch with a plain dial is now £29,350 but an MoP dial like this would, when last available, have typically added another £1,500 or so to the price! This is a Z-series watch with numbered inner rehaut. A stunning piece with only moderate wear to the bracelet worthy of comment. We would recommend that such substantial gold watches will survive best if saved for dress wear or light duties, as hard wear will increasingly show in the bracelet and other parts. These big, gold Daytonas now seem very popular and you’ll find many, inferior examples for sale at higher prices — without the benefit of the Rolex service and new bezel that this one has.
Please note: we had a number of expressions of interest in this watch while it was away at service and we will try to offer it in order to those clients, before releasing to general sale.
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.

This 1030 calibre model has a case-back stamped in the second quarter of 1958, consistent with its 423xxx case number, but typically these could be found on watches sold any time around 1960. We ask you to note that : (1) the dial shows some staining / marks which reflect its age (2) we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant and (3) the ostrich leather strap and and base-metal pin-buckle are both generic parts, NOT made by Rolex. It comes with a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them, our own presentation box and warranty card.

In very good condition, it comes with both boxes, Submariner booklet, numbered green swing-tag and UK warranty card dated December 2013 from Aurum Group (specifically Mappin & Webb in Chester). The NEW RRP of this popular model is £7,150 but it is one of several steel professional models that can now be very hard to obtain new, so we are selling it at a premium. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck!

£1,999 Stock number: 52-21-008Lady’s bicolour Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 6917 (3) with white / roman numeral dial. This early 1980s watch was originally supplied on a Jubilee bracelet, but like many its bracelet had reached the end of its life and it is now offered on a brown, leather strap with base-metal pin-buckle that is a generic part, NOT made by Rolex. It has also 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 and modernises the watch. Comes with modern Rolex box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The watch shows some signs of its age and we would no longer guarantee this model to be water resistant, but for a buyer who will wear it sensibly it offers great value. Please note: it comes correctly with the Rolex 2035 calibre movement and as such does not have the “quick-set” feature, which would allow easier correction of the date at the end of a short month; instead one must simply advance or reverse the hands 24 hours to change the date.

£4,399 Stock number: 52-27-01536mm stainless steel and white metal Rolex Datejust model 116234 on Oyster 72600 bracelet with smart black / index baton dial and roulette date wheel. It 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. In excellent condition, but we do note that the glass fitted is generic, not by Rolex. Its G6xxxxx case number suggests that it dates from approximately 2012. The new equivalent is now £6,650!
£3,199 Stock number: 50-27-0422018 watch that has spent much of of its short life in our pawnbroking safes! 31mm / mid-size stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual non-date model 177200 on Oyster 70160 bracelet with attractive silver dial featuring arabic quarters and luminous indices in subtle blue. In lovely condition, it comes with Rolex boxes, Oyster Perpetual booklet, both swing-tags and UK warranty card from Aurum Group (Goldsmiths etc) dated May 2018. The NEW RRP is now £3,950!
SOLD
£9,699 Stock number: 52-27-017Rare Rolex dress watch from 2016, in brilliant condition! 18ct rose gold 39mm Rolex Cellini Date model 50515 with silver guilloche dial on genuine Rolex strap. In brilliant condition with Cellini boxes, booklet, both swing-tags and UK warranty card dated November 2016. The NEW RRP is now £14,300!
£2,399 Stock number: 52-25-00626mm stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual DATE model 69240 on Jubilee 62510 bracelet with smart BLUE / baton dial. This UK watch was first sold in February 1996 and is in very good condition. Comes with Rolex boxes, Oyster booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £5,400!
SOLD
£6,199 Stock number: 52-25-015Rebuilt by Rolex! Stainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 16610 with black dial and bezel insert on Oyster Fliplock 93150 bracelet. Comes with Rolex boxes, Submariner booklet, a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them and a Rolex UK service slip dated May 2008. At that time the watch appears to have had a massive rebuild through Rolex UK: it was given a replacement case, bracelet parts, possibly the dial and more besides. We understand that the original watch was UK-supplied at Mappin & Webb in March 1997. It now shows only modest signs of wear. The rebuild in 2008 returned it to excellent condition but at the cost of originality. Please ask for Phil or Paul from our Rolex-trained Watch Team if you would like to know more. The larger, NEW equivalent is now £7,150 (if you can find one!), but these earlier models have proved increasingly popular in their own right.
SOLD
£3,399 Stock number: 50-26-101Current model, barely worn! 34mm stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual (non-date) model 114200 with eye-catching olive green / index baton dial with orange detail and Oyster 70190A bracelet. Please note that this is the later, plain “OP34” version of the 114200, which replaced the previous “Air-King” variant. It has spent much of its short life in our pawnbroking safes and still has the delivery stickers on the bracelet clasp! Comes with both boxes, Oyster Perpetual booklet, green swing-tag, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The NEW RRP is now £4,050!
Additional photographs of this lovely dial are available by clicking through the main image.
SOLD
£4,299 Stock number: 52-26-033Rolex Oyster Perpetual (non-date) model 76188 in 18ct yellow gold on folded-link Oyster 7204A bracelet with silver / baton dial. Comes with large Rolex box-set, Oyster booklet, UK papers from John Pass the Jeweller dated June 2005 and a Rolex UK service slip from July 2011. This “folded metal” Oyster is not the strongest type of bracelet; it shows moderate signs of wear and some distortion on the underside of one link, reflected in the price. It should be considered a dress watch, but if worn sensibly has much life in it yet.
£1,999 Stock number: 50-24-019Gent’s bicolour Breitling Chronomat automatic chronograph bracelet watch model B13050.1 with striking black dial and steel Pilot bracelet. In very pleasing condition with only moderate signs of age / wear. Comes with Breitling boxes (showing signs of wear), Chronomat instructions, authorised distributor leaflet, a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them, our own warranty card and an international warranty booklet — though we apply no value to that, as it appears to have been filled in later and may not properly belong with this watch. It’s a fraction of the price of a new model! Please note (1) it is important that you read the instructions fully before setting or using this watch’s complicated movement and (2) extended use of the chronograph function may affect time-keeping. Further guidance is available from Phil or Paul in the Miltons Watch Team, both former managers of a Breitling main agent.
£5,999 Stock number: 52-25-00936mm steel & rose metal Rolex Datejust Turn-o-Graph model 116261 with black / baton dial on Jubilee 63201 bracelet. Comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and EU warranty card dated November 2008. In very pleasing condition but as one expects with this model there is some wear to the bezel detail. A NEW equivalent last appeared in the November 2016 Rolex UK price list at £8,450 . . . and prices have generally risen since then! Please note that while it features a time-lapse bezel, the Turn-o-Graph is still essentially a dress watch. For more robust purposes we would recommend one of the Rolex Professional range, perhaps a Submariner.
SOLD
£10,499 Stock number: 52-26-032Serviced by Rolex UK in April 2019! 31mm / midsize bicolour Rolex Datejust model 178383 with full, original diamond bezel and silver / diamond dot dial on Jubilee 63163 bracelet. This sparkling watch is in excellent condition. It comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, both swing-tags, UK warranty card dated September 2014 and a Rolex UK service card dated April 2019. The NEW equivalent is now £15,200!
£2,199 Stock number: 52-24-024Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual non-date model 67180 with smart silver / baton dial on Oyster 78340 bracelet. In very good condition with Rolex boxes and original UK papers from Mappin & Webb dated March 1994. The NEW equivalent is now £3,900!
SOLD
£2,499 Stock number: 80-25-002Stainless steel Breitling SuperOcean Chronograph II Limited Edition automatic, model A13341 with dark grey dial / rubberised bezel insert with crimson detail and Professional series bracelet. In very good condition but for some signs of age / wear to the bezel and glass. It comes with Breitling box set, instruction booklet, Limited Edition certificate card, chronometer certificate and warranty booklet from UAE / Dubai dated September 2012. From a Limited Edition of 2,000 watches.
£6,199 Stock number: 52-26-03141mm stainless steel and white metal Rolex Datejust II model 116334 with gorgeous blue / index baton dial on Oyster 72210A bracelet. In outstanding condition, it comes with original boxes, Datejust booklet, both swing-tags and UK warranty card dated January 2016. The NEW equivalent is now £7,750. Be warned: these are BIG watches!
SOLD
£4,699 Stock number: 52-25-011Stainless steel Rolex “Polar” Explorer II model 16570 T with white dial. Its original bracelet presumably having failed some time ago, it is offered now on a generic “NATO”-style grey and black nylon webbing strap*. The watch head is sound but the bezel and glass show small signs of wear. Comes with Rolex boxes, Explorer booklet and UK papers from David M. Robinson dated September 2007. This would make for an effective and stylish Rolex “beater” — that is, a pre-owned watch that one doesn’t need to be too precious about wearing.
* This strap is attached on sturdy, generic spring bars which we can remove at no cost if a client wishes to change the strap in due course.
SOLD
£1,199 Stock number: 50-18-208Lady’s stainless steel Omega Constellation Quadra quartz bracelet watch, model 1537.71.00 with white Mother-of-Pearl dial and diamond bezel. Superb example from approx 1998, coming with lovely Omega gifting box, instruction book, specification sheet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.
£2,799 Stock number: 70-24-011Stainless steel and white metal 36mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Model 16014 with smart grey “pin-stripe” / baton dial on Jubilee 62510 bracelet. This mid-to-late 1980s model is in good condition for its age but there is some wear / distortion to the bracelet and please note that we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant. It comes with a later Rolex box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. This model correctly has the 3035 calibre movement with “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, where the user turns the crown backwards when in its mid-position to advance the date. Our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul will be delighted to demonstrate. The NEW equivalent is now £6,800!
SOLD
£15,999 Stock number: 52-26-0172015 Daytona with box & papers! Stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116520 with black dial on Oysterlock 78590 bracelet. Has Rolex boxes, Daytona booklet, red swing-tag and international warranty card from the Caribbean dated 2015. This random case number watch is in superb condition with only superficial marks to the bezel. The NEW ceramic bezels models now have an RRP of £10,500 but “waiting lists” are generally closed and that version is commonly being sold on the secondary market for over £19,000. This has made the outgoing 116520 an extremely attractive purchase and it remains in its own right one of the most sought after models.
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 facility or to enquire about acceptable payment methods.
£9,499 Stock number: 52-26-003Beautiful example of a highly desirable “PEPSI” GMT-Master. Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 16710 T with black “SWISS MADE” dial and so-called “Pepsi” red / blue bezel insert on Oysterlock 78790A bracelet. This lovely 3185-calibre model has original boxes, GMT-Master booklet, both swing-tags* and UK papers from Peers Jewellers in Blackpool dated July 2004. It is in superb condition – even the 16710 sticker is still in place on the case-back! The market for NEW steel GMT-Masters has now gone mad but in any event these slightly slimmer, previous-generation models have in the last couple of years enjoyed a very strong market that has been all their own. A quick search of UK dealers will illustrate that many are asking significantly more than this for similar 16710 GMT-Masters!
* While many GMT-Masters have in recent years been converted into “PEPSI” versions through the simple swapping of one bezel insert for another, the numbered green swing-tag here proves that this watch originally left Rolex with a blue and red bezel. It is explicitly denoted as a “16710BLRO“
SOLD
£6,199 Stock number: 50-25-074Gent’s full size Rolex Yachtmaster model 16622 in Rolesium, with silvery dial on Oysterlock 78760 bracelet. Has Rolex boxes, Yachtmaster booklet and UK papers from David M. Robinson dated November 2003. In excellent condition but we do note some lights marks to the bezel. The new equivalent is now £9,550!
SOLD
£5,299 Stock number: 52-25-01426mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 179163 with smart silver / diamond dot dial on Oyster 72133 bracelet.

SOLD
£3,399 Stock number: 52-21-03326mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 69173 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with champagne / diamond dot dial. This late 1980s model is largely in good condition but we note some signs of age and wear to the bracelet* that is reflected in this keen price. It comes with a generic box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £9,250!
* Apart from general wear to the bracelet, there is particular distortion to the underside of one link near the 6 o’clock end of the watch, but this cannot be seen when the watch is on the wrist.
SOLD
£8,199 Stock number: 52-25-002Available today, in brilliant condition! Stainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 116610LN with black dial and ceramic bezel insert on Oyster Glidelock 97200 bracelet. In excellent condition, it comes with both boxes, Submariner booklet, numbered green swing-tag and international Rolex warranty card dated October 2012. The NEW RRP of this popular model is £7,150 but it is one of several steel professional models that can now be very hard to obtain new, so we are selling it at a premium. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck!
SOLD
£2,899 Stock number: 80-25-003Gent's stainless steel Breitling Navitimer World GMT automatic chronograph, model ref A24322 with blue dial and original leather strap. Comes in Breitling box-set with instruction booklet, chronometer certificate, slide rule calculator / instructions and warranty booklet from the UAE dated July 2012.

SOLD
£2,399 Stock number: 50-14-005Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King-Date model 5700 with dark grey / baton dial, unusually fitted with a Jubilee 62510 bracelet that has probably been fitted later to replace the more common Oyster 78350. This somewhat collectible model dates from around 1977. To change the date on this 1520-calibre model, one simply advances the main hands forwards or backwards past midnight. In fine condition for its age, but please note that (1) the bracelet shows some signs of wear, (2) we no longer guarantee these older, plastic glass models to be water-resistant and (3) time-keeping may-not be as accurate as a modern, chronometer-rated Rolex. Offered with our own presentation box, warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them.
SOLD
£4,699 Stock number: 52-21-04536mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 16233 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with classic champagne / diamond dot dial. This early 1990s model is in very good condition, coming 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. We first sold this watch some years ago, when it still had Rolex papers showing original sale in January 1993. Regrettably those papers were no longer with the watch when it was traded back to us recently. The NEW equivalent is now £10,950!
SOLD
£2,999 Stock number: 52-22-028Of interest to collectors! Stainless steel Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust model 17000 from the late 1970s. Note the original, early dial with no “SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER” text but just the simple “OYSTERQUARTZ” name in the lower half of the dial. Contrary to the widely-held belief of a million wine-bar experts, for over twenty years Rolex DID make a quartz watch whose second hand TICKS rather than sweeps, as one might otherwise rightly expect of their mechanical watches. These Oysterquartz models are quite rare and their chunky looks are not to everyone's taste, but they have a following and this early example is in very nice condition. Under close examination one can see that the dial has lost some of the expired luminous dots from its chapter ring (rim), but we would rate it as 85% condition, excellent for its age. The bracelet is in outstanding condition and has an “MA5” clasp code, suggesting that it has been replaced at some point from late 2005 onwards. The watch comes with later Rolex boxes, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. We like to warn prospective buyers just how LOUD the ticking sound always is on the Rolex 5035 quartz module: if you enjoy stalking lions, work for the Special Forces or are plagued by fears that a ticking bomb might be under your living room chair, this may not be the model for you. Offered with a one year warranty, since the Oysterquartz range is now discontinued.
SOLD

It is in lovely condition but for some superficial marks to the glass. Has Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, green swing-tags and international Rolex warranty card dated November 2015. The NEW equivalent is now £11,950!
SOLD
£3,499 Stock number: 52-21-04026mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 69173 with sparkling champagne / diamond dot dial on Jubilee 62523 bracelet. This early 1990s watch is in lovely condition but the dial shows slight signs of age, its colour having mellowed slightly unevenly over the years. It comes with Rolex boxes, an Oyster 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 £8,600!
SOLD

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 mid-1980s model is in very nice condition, coming with our own presentation box / warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The new equivalent, even with a plain dial, is now £7,050.
