It is one of the most highly sought-after vintage Rolex models, and it often sells as soon as we get it in stock at our shop!!

The piece we have in stock this time was manufactured around 1975-76.

It is a "Pumpkin" piece with hands and indices that have aged significantly, giving it that wonderful atmosphere that truly defines a vintage watch!

Pumpkin dials are highly popular and hard to come by when you actually go looking for them, so if you are searching for one, be sure to check it out!

This dial is period-correct and features a sharp logo.

The dial is maintained in beautiful condition, even under a loupe.

The clear contrast between the matte black dial and the aged indices looks fantastic.

The deep-aged luminous indices are clean with no signs of staining.

This dial condition can undoubtedly be called rare!

The lume is all-tritium.
The condition of the luminous hands is also excellent!

While there are some scratches from use, it has been maintained in overall beautiful condition, making it a highly recommended piece with great total condition!!  

As you can see, the middle case is in good condition with sharp, well-defined edges!!

The buckle clasp code is "A".

The period-correct bracelet has only slight wear/stretch!!

There is a dent and some scratches on the case back, but as this is a vintage model, that’s just part of its charm.
It doesn't detract from the atmosphere at all!

What a great look!
This is a watch with an incredible atmosphere, highlighted by an impactful pumpkin dial!!
