This is one of the most impressive vintage Rolex I've had. Everything is original factory from the 1970s except for a replacement strap. The watch has been overhauled and finished just about a year ago from Rolex. The case edges are crisp and clean, along with the original crown, bezel, and crystal. This Rolex was made during a period of an absolute peek of new innovations from Rolex. Many believe the the calibre 1570 is the strongest and most reliable workhorse Rolex has made; and many collector agree. This watch has a stainless steel case with an 18k yellow gold smooth bezel and an 18k yellow gold crown. It is very hard to find a smooth bezel from the 70's - they were made in limited numbers. But the most shocking beauty is in the original dial. I'm not sure what color to call it; I believe it was originally champagne but over time an even patina has created like a combination of gold, rose and brown, but it's amazing together with the rest of the watch. I couldn't stand the boring light brown leather strap this watch came on even if it was new and nice; so, I placed a new $100 genuine crocodile black semi-gloss no padding and now it's deserving of wearing anywhere.
