Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1003
By Paul Altieri
The Oyster Perpetual ref. 1003 was produced sometime in the late 1960's to early 1970's and brings with it the distinct vintage style that avid pre-owned Rolex collectors seek. The case measures a modest 34mm and wears on a stainless steel rivet Oyster bracelet secured by a Fliplock clasp. The case is topped with an engine-turned bezel, an acrylic crystal, and a matching silver dial set with silver indices and hands. Within the case beats a calibre 1560 perpetual movement, which is from Rolex's first series of in-house made movements ever produced by the brand. The calibre 1560 is a 26-jewel chronometer-rated movement with a KIF Flector shock absorbers, a Breguet free sprung hairspring, and 18,800 bph.

I ordered this watch as a Birthday present for myself, and I couldn’t be more happy! The presentation box and the certification was beyond expectations! The watch itself is gorgeous, I already have couple more bands on the way So yeah, Happy Birthday to me!
I was initially hesitant about ordering my first pre-owned Rolex via Bob's Watches, since I am used to handling and viewing watches in person more often than not before buying. But I'd heard great things about Bob's, so I took a chance. And this watch is gorgeous. It's exactly as described: some light wear on the bracelet and case, but the patina on the dial is absolutely beautiful and the hands and markers are stunning.
