Advice on a vintage Oyster Precision
First, my apologies for the lack of pics, as I know that is a huge hindrance.
Earlier today I came across what seems to be an all original late 60's, more likely early 1970s Oyster Precision in 34mm. While I mostly collect Omegas, the champagne dial looked untouched and was lightly patina'ed, with a small stain just to the right of the T SWISS T. The only other dial markings were the proper crown logo, then Rolex, then Oyster, and then on the lower half, Precision, all in what seemed to be proper untouched font and lettering. Some fading to the hands has occurred, as is to be expected. Bracelet is in good + shape with minor stretch to the links, what I would consider light-to-normal for a 40-50 year old piece. This is an all SS model with no YG or WG. No box or papers. The jeweler is local to me and has been in business with a strong reputation for 20+ years. All watches are warrantied as fully serviced and certified by their on-site Rolex certified watch specialist. They are not an AD, concentrating primarily on gems, but do stock a fine selection of pre-owned Rolex, Omega, Tag, and so on. I've had no issue with purchases in the past from them, including a Formula 1 Tag. Unfortunately, they do not allow pics of any kind. Having dealt with them before, they've offered it to me at 2k USD out the door, from the sticker price of 2495. With what I realize is very scant information, would anyone like to venture an opinion as to the quality of this deal? They do stipulate that if anything is found to be inauthentic, a return within the 12 month store warranty is accepted w/o question, and that it is warrantied to work at spec for the same 12 month period. Thanks for any thoughts, and again sorry I'm unable to provide images of the one in question. :/ |
