In excellent condition, it comes with Rolex boxes, Your Rolex Oyster booklet and UK papers from Charles Fox in Bournemouth dated June 1991.

£5,699 Stock number: 52-77-009Fresh in service stickers after 2024 overhaul through a Rolex main agent ! Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 (non-date) model 116000 on Oyster 70200A bracelet with smart silver / index baton dial. In beautiful condition after £631-worth of service work comprising a movement overhaul and new glass, it comes with both boxes, Oyster Perpetual booklet, green chronometer swing-tag, international Rolex warranty card dated June 2016 and one of the very latest Rolex “World Service” cards*. The NEW equivalent is now £5,300 but supply is still struggling to meet demand and many stainless steel Rolex can attract a small premium, as here.
* These latest service cards first appeared in late 2023. They bear no visible details of the watch or service, but instead a QR code that leads to an on-line demonstration of how to access the associated watch’s service details. By holding an enabled smart-phone next to the card, an NFC link is provided which brings up the watch’s unique details and in this instance confirms that it has a service warranty which runs until August 2026.
£5,399 Stock number: 50-77-08436mm Rolex Datejust in stainless steel and white metal, model 16234 with sparkling silver / diamond dot dial on Jubilee 62510 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. This X-series watch dates from the 1990s and is in very good condition for its age, but the price reflects the facts that under magnification there are some signs of ageing to the dial and that the glass is a generic replacement, not by Rolex. The NEW equivalent is now £9,650 !

This random case number watch is in superb condition after an £889 movement overhaul and new glass. Like many steel models in the “professional” range, the 116610LV remains highly desirable. The NEW equivalent is now £9,450 but both versions have been hard to find in the UK, so it attracts a significant premium. Clearly if you can find a new one at RRP then you should buy it – we wish we could !

£10,699 Stock number: 52-77-006Brilliant example of a popular, short-lived model ! Stainless steel Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 model 116600 with black dial and ceramic bezel insert on Oyster Glidelock 97400 bracelet. Comes with both boxes, Sea-Dweller 4000 booklet, green chronometer swing-tag, UK warranty card from Fattorini the Jeweller in Harrogate dated August 2015 and a Rolex UK service card dated November 2019. Rolex fans were delighted when the company re-introduced an SD4000 into the range, after the bulk of the DeepSea 116660 version had put off so many ordinary buyers. The more practical size of this model, the lack of a sometimes-annoying “cyclops” magnifying lens and 60-minute marked bezel (a nod to Rolex’s military past) were instant hits. The NEW equivalent is now £12,150 (if you can find one….), but these discontinued models have a market all of their own.

£4,699 Stock number: 52-74-00136mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 16233 on Jubilee 62523 bracelet with smart grey / applied Roman numeral dial. This circa- 1994 watch comes with Rolex 16233 boxes, YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. A very attractive looking watch but the price reflects noticeable bracelet wear and the fact that the glass is a generic replacement, not by Rolex.

In very pleasing condition, it comes with Rolex boxes (the cushion is a generic replacement), YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet and international Rolex papers dated October 1994.

These models are just as likely to be worn by gents or ladies now. Has large Rolex boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet, green swing-tag and UK warranty card from The Watches of Switzerland Group (Goldsmiths etc) dated September 2019. The NEW equivalent is now £28,100 but availability of many similar specification Daytonas remains poor, so we are selling it at close to that price — but look at how much others are asking ! The strap is currently small and allows minor adjustment, but if a different length is required we may have other rubber sections available to swap, or if not would order as necessary on an exchange basis. We would anticipate doing this at no additional cost, but there may be some weeks’ wait if a new length of strap has to come from Rolex.

Comes with Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet, red swing-tag, international Rolex papers dated June 2005 and a Rolex UK service card dated November 2022. In excellent condition as one might expect after Rolex service, showing only modest wear to the bracelet and 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, with the new RRP of the closest equivalent Datejust now £11,500 ! Please note that while it does feature a time-lapse bezel, the Turn-o-Graph is still essentially a dress watch.

It comes with Rolex boxes, Submariner booklet and UK papers card from John Pass the Jeweller in Crewe dated December 2005.

£3,999 Stock number: 52-72-00726mm bicolour Rolex Datejust model 79163 with bright white / applied Roman numeral dial on Oyster 78243 bracelet. This 2002 model comes with Rolex boxes, Your Rolex Oyster booklet and our own warranty card. The NEW equivalent is now £8,650 ! This watch is priced to reflect some wear to the bracelet and the fact that the case and model numbers are both substantially worn. *
* 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 third and fourth digits of the unique case number are obscured by bracelet wear, but we purchased it from a Rolex main agent and are thus confident of its provenance.

Comes with Rolex boxes, Oyster booklet and UK Rolex papers which are undated, although we can date the watch to around 1995. It has just had a genuine, new Rolex bezel insert fitted and is in very pleasing condition, but we do note moderate signs of age / wear, signs of repair to the Fliplock rivet and that the glass fitted is generic, not by Rolex — all factors reflected in this keen price. The larger, NEW equivalent is now £9,500 (if you can find one….) but the earlier models have proved increasingly popular in their own right.

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.

£12,999 Stock number: 62-13-004Classic 1970s Rolex Explorer / Explorer 1 * with “Frog’s Foot” dial, FRESH FROM SPECIALIST ROLEX SERVICE by Steven Hale Watch Restoration Ltd. ! Various generations of stainless steel Explorer with their classic and easy-to-read black / 3-6-9 dials have been celebrated as the choice for adventurers. After a few early models like the 6150 (as issued to the Royal Navy Hydographic Survey), the Explorer model 1016 was introduced and during some thirty years in production this model earned its reputation as a classic collectible. This Rolex Explorer 1016 with 298xxxx case number has a case-back date-stamped for the first quarter of 1972. It retains its original “Mark 1” matt black / Arabic quarters “Frog’s Foot” dial, so called because the Rolex coronet is printed in a distinctive style that is reminiscent of a frog’s webbed foot. The dial is clean to the naked eye although with a 10x loupe one can find some tiny marks, and it has well-matched hands that we believe are the originals. The bracelet is the light-weight, folded steel Oyster 7836 with 358 end-links, in very nice condition. It has a Rolex 1570 calibre movement with unique movement number 236642 as illustrated in the photo-essay linked below. The movement is running well, testing at a gain of only a few second per day on average in October 2023, although this will vary slightly depending on the individual wearer. Its mid case is in fine condition with lugs that have not been over-polished, the crown and bezel are excellent and the case numbering is crisp and clear. Offered with a genuine Explorer 1016 / 1655 instruction booklet (itself a valuable collectible!), Rolex “Green-Stripe” box-set (matching inner and outers ref 06.00.06), red COSC swing-tag, plastic document wallet and chronometer translation leaflet, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. M.S.Milton Ltd in Birkenhead bought this watch from an individual in January 2019. It lived thereafter unworn in our safes until April 2023 when we sent it to Steven Hale Watch Restoration Limited, a fully accredited Rolex watch-maker and one of the UK’s leading vintage specialists. The watch enjoyed £1,596 worth of work including a full movement service and the fitting of new glass, flush-fit ends, rotor axle, reversers, barrel, tube, upper crown and core. A photo-essay of this watch with many more photographs is available by clicking here. This watch in its refurbished form will perhaps attract the discerning and discreet collector with an appreciation of Rolex’s 20th century history. Please note that while we have successfully tested water resistance for normal use including recreational swimming etc, we would advise that more extensive pressure testing be carried out before any significant underwater diving is considered.
* The Rolex EXPLORER in all its permutations (6350, 6150, 1016, 5504, 5500, 14270, 114270 etc) never featured the title “EXPLORER I” on its dial, but has often been referred to as that, since the introduction of the explicitly-named EXPLORER II. Through the years there have thus been many people who say we should not use the title “EXPLORER I”, claiming that no such watch ever existed. Frustrated with this, our Managing Director compiled research from the Miltons archives to prove that Rolex themselves have referred to the “EXPLORER I” for many decades — and his findings are often now quoted when the matter arises in internet discussion. If such detail is of interest to you, much of his evidence may be found by following this link.

£27,499 Stock number: 50-70-006AVAILABLE TODAY ! BLUE DIAL, white gold “PEPSI” GMT-Master !

Comes on Oysterlock 78209 bracelet with the desirable DARK BLUE dial * and red / blue “Pepsi” ceramic bezel insert. In beautiful condition, having spent much of its life in our pawnbroking safes. Has Rolex boxes, GMT-Master II booklet and green swing-tag. The watch also came with what appears to be a warranty card from Sao Paulo dated January 2020, but some unusual features make us doubt the card's authenticity and it is included with the sale only on that compromised basis. We do include with the watch a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. A NEW equivalent is now £35,600 — but often very hard to obtain !
* Earlier examples of this model came with a black dial, but when a stainless steel “Pepsi” was released it looked too similar. For those in the know, the blue dial (introduced around 2018) ensures your white gold GMT won't be mistaken as a “mere” stainless steel model !
