1962 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

This is one of my particular favourites. Does have the odd fine nick here and there but not really noticable and, like the moderate aging of the dial, it all adds to its character. This is a model #1500 and, although 1500's are usually quite common, this has one has the older Cal.1565 movement as opposed to the later Cal.1570. Not only that, but the hands are duaphine and the hour makers are slightly shaped.The later 1500's are altogether more plain in their dial design.
The Rolex Oyster bracelet is from 1993 and not original to the watch.
