Wire, Zelle, or Crypto [Album](https://imgur.com/a/AGnkGTV) | [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/ZEAMgJy) **Our Take** This vintage Oyster Perpetual Date Reference 1500 boasts a rare and striking mosaic blue shantung dial, resembling the texture of woven silk. With a mid-size 34.5mm diameter, it offers a classic and timeless look on the wrist. While it wears slightly smaller than the 36mm Oyster Perpetuals and Datejusts from the same period, its versatile design makes it a perfect fit for a range of wrist sizes. This specific ref. 1500 is in excellent pre-owned condition. The previously polished case remains in good condition with some previous knick marks present. The bracelet is in mint condition for the age of the watch and remains very tight relative to the watches age. It also received a new acrylic crystal and gaskets, ensuring it passed water resistance tests. There is some slight oxidation present on the hands. A complimentary leather watch pouch is included with the purchase.
