Vintage Watch Condition Examination:
This OP is in great vintage condition. The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The “Zephyr” bezel is in overall great condition with the details still prominent. The dial is in good, attractive condition and has developed patina throughout. The lume has all developed patina and the seven o’clock lume plot has degraded away. The hands have developed patina; the lume has aged and some luminous material is missing in the minute hand that can be hard to notice.
Description: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1008
Pre-owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref 1008 (1963). Are you in the market for your first Rolex and want to make your investment a memorable one? Or maybe you’re building your collection, and you’re in the market for a striking vintage Rolex with immense character.
Either way, the Zephyr Rolex 1008 Oyster Perpetual is an excellent choice. Rolex produced relatively small quantities of this watch between the 1950s and 1970s, making it a unique collector’s item and somewhat of a cult favorite among Rolex enthusiasts. The unique quadrant dial and textured engine-turned bezel set this Rolex 1008 apart from other Oyster Perpetual watches on the market. It’s also distinguished by older-style hands, simple dot hour markers, Radium lume in a creamy hue, and a complimentary leather bracelet. This timepiece is iconic and exudes the vintage charm that many die-hard fans seek from an older watch – all for a very attractive price.
