Vintage Rolex Datejust 1603

Hi all.

I am looking to purchase this piece and was wondering if everything looks OK. I was told everything is original.

My concerns is the polishing and the bracelet.

Should i be concerned at all?

Watch is original, polishing isn't the best but it is correctable, and bracelet wear looks consistent with the vintage (crimp band)... depending on the price it looks good... papers on a watch of this vintage are RARE

Looks good to me. What type of writing on the papers? Is that Hebrew? Cool piece.

That can be cleaned up nicely with a good buffing and polishing. Very nice looking watch! Love the Datejust. Just make sure the crown screws down smoothly and locks tight.

I have actually seen this watch in person, the watch is such a classic and absolutely beautiful dial. As our friends stated, it is rare for this reference to come with box or papers,
This watch is being sold by a friend and I got to wear this watch for about 10 minutes and I was very satisfied:)
Enjoy it in health and happiness if you end up buying it ;)
