Model 1002-1005 Rolex OP

Hi all. It's been awhile. I have recently purchased a cherry 1959 Oyster P. Don't believe case has been cracked before I busted a few knuckles.

Anyhow, Between lugs at 12 it is marked 1002 Registered Design and on case back it has 1005 in bold figures IV59 and at lugs 6 serial nr 57XXXXX. Below in faint figures it has 1002.

My question is what is the real model nr? Thanks, Mike

You’ll need to share some pics of that one...I know it’s been 6 years but maybe get some more posts here and there swiftly so you can post them.

In the meantime, the Oyster Perpetual 1002 should have a smooth bezel - depending upon the s/n it could have two different calibers inside. Yours should have a 1560 inside based upon the s/n.

A 1005 usually had a fluted bezel. But your watch could have parts from either interchanges over the years. And if anything ever got perished inside you may have a different dial.

Lastly, a ref. 1008 had an engine turned gold bezel and crosshair dial.

So now you see why pics are a necessity. And as long as you’ve had the caseback off, include pics of the movement (make sure the caliber is visible).

Well, I am not very computer savvy...Pics later.. But, the watch has a 1560 movement and a smooth bezel. I am intrigued by the gears color,they faded out..Thanks again, I am going with a 1002 model.
