Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!

Today we have a vintage Datejust Ref. 1601 with a jet-black mirror dial!!

Rolex Datejust All Tritium
Ref. 1601 Serial. 2.6 million (manufactured around 1971)
Accessories: Watch only
Cal. 1570 FF55/6251H Clasp 71.3 Caseback 70.4
SOLD OUT!!

 

The watch introduced today is a vintage Datejust manufactured from around 1960 to around 1979!

The Ref. 1601 is a classic vintage model with an attractive dial that is stepped down one level around the perimeter and a folded Jubilee bracelet.

It exudes a calm atmosphere unique to vintage watches, and it is lighter than current models and easy to wear, so it is highly recommended.

The charm of this particular piece is definitely its mirror dial!!

Its beautiful mirror-like luster is captivating, making it a rare dial among vintage models.

Even though it's a mirror, it's not a typical 60s mirror; it's a black mirror dial with silver printed lettering.

It's a rare dial produced in the early 70s, seen during the transition from mirror to matte dials.

Important point!! The glossy texture of the dial is in excellent condition.

It is said that many dials from this period maintain a relatively beautiful luster, and as you can see, this particular piece is also extremely shiny!

The dial condition is superb, and there is no missing luminous material on the index, making it a perfect condition.

The elaborate indexes, unique to this era, also have a nice taste.

This dial condition is definitely rare!!

The lume is all tritium.

The hands show natural aging, which is typical for vintage watches, but the condition of the hand lume is good.

Wow, it's beautiful~!!

This jet-black mirror combined with silver lettering creates an incredibly cool dial!!

Although there are some signs of wear, the case and bracelet are in solid and impressive condition.

As you can see, the mid-case is in good condition with no excessive polishing.

The lugs are also thick and perfectly aligned!

The bracelet is a well-maintained folded Jubilee.

The buckle engraving is from the 3rd quarter of 1971, which matches the age.

It's in superb condition with only minor stretch.

Wrist shot!!
The most beautiful black mirror, this piece is incredibly cool!!

Please enjoy the captivating jet-black mirror!!
