ABOUT THIS WATCH:  MANUFACTURER: Rolex MODEL: Datejust REFERENCE: 1601 SERIAL: 100xxxx YEAR: 1963 DIAL: The original pie-pan linen Buckley dial is in fantastic shape and appears to be free of any staining, patina, blemishes or otherwise imperfections. The dial sports printed roman numeral style hour markers and matching black baton hands. The lume on the dial has taken on a charming cream patina and matches the lume plots on the dial. The lume plots glow brighter than the hands in the dark; however, it is known that lume for dials and hands were at times made from different manufacturers with varying levels of tritium.  CASE: The previously polished 36mm steel case is in fair shape. The lugs appear more rounded due to past polishing and have lost their original brushed finishing and crisp lines. The 18kt yellow gold fluted bezel is in good shape.
