Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza.
Today, I'd like to introduce a recommended vintage Day-Date model!

Rolex Day-Date All Tritium
Ref.1803/8 Serial.30 (Manufactured around 1972)
Cal.1556 FF53/8385 Clasp 71.3
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

 

The vintage Day-Date "Ref.1803" was manufactured from the 1959s to the late 1970s.

It's a popular model known for its comfortable fit and the unique charm of a vintage piece.

The 4-digit Day-Date models seem to be appearing less frequently lately,
but the one we're introducing today is a particularly good-condition example that's hard to find!

If you're looking for one, please take a look.

The dial is a champagne dial, a classic color for dress watches.  

It has a calm and pleasing champagne color without any excessive sparkle,
making it comfortable on the wrist and easy to wear.

A characteristic of 4-digit Day-Dates is the stepped dial, where the outer circumference is set lower,
making the center of the dial appear to float.

This stepped dial, which exudes a vintage atmosphere, is in excellent condition for a watch manufactured around 1972.

Look at the condition of this dial!!

It's in superb condition, flawless even under a loupe!
The index luminous material is also in perfect condition with no loss.

The luminous material is all tritium. The luminous material on the hands is also in good condition!

The condition shows some scuffs and small scratches from use,
but for a vintage Day-Date, it's in remarkably good condition.

As you can see, the mid-case looks excellent, and the lugs are sharp.

The clasp is a concealed type and its date, March '71, matches.

The bracelet is also in very good condition with only slight stretching.
For a watch manufactured around '72, this bracelet condition is rare!

The bezel's edge lines are also well-defined.

It has a good look.

Overall, it's a rare 4-digit Day-Date with superb condition!

Finally, a wrist shot!!
The calm and pleasing champagne dial is captivating!
If you're looking for a vintage Day-Date with an emphasis on individual quality, you must check this out!

Vintage Day-Date "Ref.1803/72 All Tritium" This is a highly recommended Day-Date with excellent overall condition, including the dial, luminous material, case, and bracelet!
This is a good example that doesn't come in often, so if you're even slightly interested, please pick it up and take a look!
Overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop.
To customers looking for a vintage Day-Date, please consider it!
