Stainless steel Rolex Datejust model 179160 on Oyster 72130 bracelet, extraordinarily fitted with a genuine silver / diamond dot dial that is usually reserved exclusively for dearer models with white metal bezels. This is a very clean-looking watch in superb order, having Rolex boxes, Datejust booklet and UK papers from Watches of Switzerland in Knightsbridge dated July 2007. While this combination of watch and dial is not listed in the standard Rolex price list, one can deduce from the base model (£4,100) and diamond dial uplift (£1,350) that a new equivalent would theoretically be £5,450…..although Rolex do not offer such a watch. Sometimes it’s good to be different; not everyone likes the fluted bezel finish on the white metal versions. This is not the first nor the most surprising combination we have seen like this: we recall a steel Daytona 116520 fitted contrary to standard spec. with a black / diamond dot dial (swapped from a white gold model), which was then serviced by Rolex UK.

    • Late, pre-ceramic model – rarely seen with a random case number and engraved rehaut like this! Stainless steel Rolex Date Submariner model 16610 T with black dial and bezel insert on Oyster Fliplock 93250 bracelet. In very good condition, it comes with original Rolex boxes, Submariner booklet, numbered green tag, UK warranty card from Pyke & Sons in Birkenhead dated May 2010 and a Rolex UK service card dated May 2017, when it appears to have enjoyed £505 of work carried out through Mappin & Webb in Chester. The larger, NEW equivalent is now £7,300 (if you can find one!), but these earlier models have proved increasingly popular in their own right. Available from Miltons of Church Street, Liverpool city centre.

    • Bicolour Datejust model 6827 (3) from approx 1980 with smart blue / baton dial on Jubilee 62523 bracelet. This is one of the older models with no quick-set date-change feature and the softer, acrylic glass, which we advise should no longer be considered water-resistant. This is a very pleasing watch to look at but there are some signs of its thirty or more years of wear, reflected in this keen price. Has a later box and our own warranty card. The NEW equivalent, much improved as it is, now costs £6,400!
