Description

For sale is a vintage, pre-owned 1970 Rolex Datejust 36mm, reference number 1603, known for its plastic crystal, non-quickset date, and stainless steel engine-turned bezel.

The watch comes as pictured, with no box or papers – only the watch. It’s fitted with its original Rolex Jubilee bracelet, which was recently professionally retightened and polished.

The watch was serviced by us in March 2026 as part of a routine preventive overhaul. Nothing was broken or repaired. During the service, we disassembled the movement, cleaned it, oiled it, timed it, and adjusted it for accuracy. For added peace of mind, we’re backing the watch with a 1-year warranty through our store. The watch is running accurately and properly without any issues.

Condition: The watch is pre-owned and vintage, so you can expect to see some light signs of wear. The case and bracelet have some light scuffs, and the bracelet has some minor stretch (sag), which is very normal for pre-owned jubilee bracelets of this age.

Sizing: The case measures approximately 36 mm in diameter, 43.3 mm from lug tip to lug tip, 20 mm in lug width, and 12.1 mm in thickness. The bracelet can fit wrists up to 7.25 inches.

Features: Stainless steel Rolex Oyster case, Rolex Jubilee bracelet, plastic crystal, date indicator, screw-down crown, screw-in caseback, and a Rolex cal. 1570 automatic movement with 26 jewels.

Shipping and Returns: Free shipping within the USA. International shipping is $100. The buyer is responsible for any taxes or import fees. Returns are accepted within three days of delivery only if the item is returned in the same condition in which it was sold.
