Offering for sale a vintage 1970’s Rolex DateJust 1603 with matte black ‘confetti’ dial. These matte black DateJust dials are something else, much more interesting and attractive than the standard black dials. The dial on this one is beautiful with clear flecks of red and blue and gives it a different look to other DateJusts. This has just returned from a full service with a Rolex certified watchmaker, sympathetic to vintage and is under warranty to Nov 2027.

Only selling as I’ve bought two 1603’s recently (this and a blue dial which I’ll list in a couple of days) and I can’t decide which to keep. So, whichever sells first, I’ll keep the other.
