What makes Rolex special about collecting and rarity? Details. And when multiple details add to the total we have something very special. This 1603 has a matte silver dial, which already is a rare occurrence but on top of it, the markers are "Onyx" black. The third part that makes this dial special is that it is a no lume dial which in itself is seen in very few watches and usually reserved for the Japan market at the time. The fact that the dial is also near perfect if not perfect is what adds to the original case and bracelet which are matching. The watch was pictured as found, a new crystal will be fitted and watch will be serviced prior to the sale as usual but wanted to picture the honesty of a watch as found, from its original owners. The mid case has been previously polished, the bezel and caseback have never been touched and are crisp. Bracelet is dated 1972, very normal for watches to be fitted with bracelets 1-2 years newer than the estimated date by serial.
