When were the last Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 1018 Chronometers produced?
I am trying to swat up on my knowledge of the watch . . .
Thank you. |

Ended sometime between 1967 and 1975
That may not help much, but my Dad bought one in 67 (which I now have) and I have a Rolex catolog from 1975 which does not list it - at least a US catalog that does not list it.

What production date reference are you using?
From what I'm finding, you watch appears to be from approximately 1965.

Yeah, that's pretty common with Rolex's supply stream.
Case number or designation letter runs may begin one year, and then carry over for a long time after that.
Only Rolex in Geneva know the exact production dates, and they're not talkin' . . . |
