Cool cheap vintage - Rolex Oysterdate Precision

Recommended Posts

NCRich

Posted this first in Rolex but realized this is really a vintage. Soooooo..I was ordering a couple cases for a vintage build from Silix and since I was paying shipping/WU fees I looked about the cheapie section for something to add. I'd previously ordered an Air King from there and had been impressed. Clicked on the other button under Rolex and there was a selection of odd watches. 4 different Precisions, some handwind with plexi (as it should be) 2 mineral crystal with auto. All had drilled lugs. So I went for the black with the correct stuff under the theory that white and black dials are the hardest to screw.

 

Much like an Aliexpress buy I wasn't looking for much. As usual the quality of QC pics from Silix barely let me identify the model of the watch. They also forgot to email me tracking which is just as well since it never works. Anyway, I got it today and I'm really blown away. It is really top notch looking and the build quality is off the charts. A lot of the Silix cheapies are crap but some must be old stock reps that were made in a different era. The plexi is outstanding and the bracelet feels quality and looks great. It is a small watch but it wears really nicely on my 7.5 inch wrist. OK pics

Inner caseback engraved, brass movement holders with movement tabs. Nice smooth handwind movement.

Looks really nice man, especially for the $.

 

Also: many gens from that era are a mishmash of parts by now---

aka if i saw yours and wondered about the crown size or the fact that the coronet on the dial isn't 100% perfectly shaped etc---

I would think ''oh, that dial has been redone'' or ''hmm maybe that crown has been replaced'' but i would prob believe your watch as gen.

 

Finally there's a lot of cheap gen parts for these watches around!

Just a quick search on the bay + I saw some dials for $150, crowns for $20 etc---so if you end up liking the watch, upgrades are easy and cheap.
