Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza.

Rolex Day-Date All Tritium
Ref.1803/8 Serial.32 (manufactured around 1973)
Cal.1556 Japan bracelet Accessories: Box (later), warranty card (domestic regular December 1973 stamp)
SOLD OUT!!

Vintage Day-Date "Ref. 1803" manufactured from the 1960s to the late 1970s
The one we are introducing this time is a model with a champagne dial, a classic dress color.

The four-digit date dial has a step lower on the outer periphery.
A distinctive feature of this dial is that the center of the dial appears to stand out.

The dial with stepped edges gives off a vintage vibe.
It is in excellent condition for a model manufactured around 1973.

Check out this beautiful condition!!
Even when viewed with a magnifying glass it is in flawless condition!
The index luminous material is in perfect condition with no missing parts.

Another distinctive feature of this dial is the "σ" sigma notation at the 6 o'clock position.
The σ mark indicates that gold or other precious metals are used on the dial.

The condition is good, there are some scratches and small marks due to use,
The condition is good for a vintage Day-Date.

The middle case is also sturdy and not overly finished.

The case side is also in good condition, making for a very impressive piece!

The bracelet is a rare item with a Japan bracelet!

This is a solid gold bracelet made in Japan, commonly known as the "Japan Bracelet".
The middle plate of the buckle is engraved with "MADE IN JAPAN".

At that time, the tariffs on imports from Switzerland were high,
Apparently, only the watch itself was sent, and the bracelet was manufactured in each country.

The bracelet is a little worn, but it still has a natural look that suits the age.

Accessories include a box (additional) and a warranty card!!
The fact that it comes with a genuine domestic guarantee is a rare feature!

This is a reliable unit that was overhauled by the manufacturer in April 2023.

The hands have been replaced with Luminova hands during a regular overhaul.
The dial is very beautiful, well balanced and does not spoil the atmosphere.

Wrist shot!! You look great!
