Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today, we have a stylish and rare Datejust model.

Rolex Datejust Buckley All Tritium
Ref.16003 Serial.84 (Manufactured around 1984)
Cal.3035 78363/FF458 Clasp Code H
Accessories: Watch only
COMING SOON!!

The Datejust "Ref.16003" was produced from around 1978 to 1988.

Among the Datejust models of the 80s, fluted bezels were overwhelmingly common, making this rare model with a smooth bezel quite a find.

While the design is similar to its successor, Ref.16203, the Ref.16003 features a plastic crystal, giving it a vintage feel.

As a hidden rare model from the 80s, there must be many people secretly looking for this one.

This incoming model is known as the "Buckley dial," characterized by its large printed Roman numerals and black hands.

This dial exists on 4-digit and 5-digit Day-Date and Datejust models, and it's said to be called the Buckley dial because it was favored by the famous Rolex collector, John Buckley.

While Buckley dials come in various colors, this one is a champagne dial!!

The champagne dial with black printed Roman numerals and black hands are exquisitely matched!!
It exudes a classical atmosphere.

The dial and hands are in beautiful condition, even under a loupe.

There is a slight chip on the index at 1 o'clock, but otherwise, the luminous condition is good and well-preserved.

The lume is all tritium.
The condition of the hand lume is also excellent!

The smooth bezel, YG combination case, and champagne Buckley dial are an absolutely perfect match~!!

This is a super cool watch with an indescribable aura!!

Like Ref.16000, Ref.16003 is a reference rarely encountered, but the smooth bezel is indeed nice.

The sporty Oyster bracelet also matches perfectly!

The watch has been polished and overhauled by our affiliated workshop, so it is in overall beautiful condition!

As you can see, the middle case is in good condition, maintaining its original form!!

The lug feet also have sharp edges, and the hairline finish is clean!

This case condition is truly appealing!!

The buckle clasp code is "H."

The bracelet, which matches the era, is also in good condition with only slight stretching!!

Wrist shot!! So good... so stylish!!
The 36mm size is also excellent.
Wearing a model like this effortlessly shows great taste!!

The popular Datejust dial "16003/Champagne Buckley '84" is a super rare 80s Datejust that you'd hardly ever find otherwise!!
The real watch has even more aura than in the photos, so please come and see it in person!!
To customers looking for a stylish vintage Datejust,
Please consider it.
