1967 Rolex Oyster-Perpetual Date (Ref. 1500) Silver Dial
The Rolex Oyster-Perpetual Date is one of the best value-per-dollar Rolex watches that exist on the market today. Priced slightly below the more predominantly known and slightly larger Rolex Datejust, the vintage OP Date is often found in great condition with unique dials that offer more presence than could be achieved by case size.

DIAL & HANDS
The original silver sunburst dial features a beautiful vintage aesthetic, displaying tasteful yet subtle elements of age throughout with no real damage present. The tritium lume plots have developed a handsome creamy-ivory patina and show no visible degradation when inspected under U.V. light. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly, under U.V. light inspection the hour hand features some nominal lume loss that isn't visible to the naked eye and remains stable, the minute hand exhibits no degradation. The metallic date wheel is original with "closed" 6's and 9's.
