Hi everyone this Rolex is being offered to me at a good price. I've see it many times and it looks pristine, current owner says it has been sitting in a vault for 30 years. I have no experience with vintage rolexes so asking if the expects here can help weigh in. Anything suspicious? Does the dial check out etc. Seller is asking $4k CAD

The watch looks fine but be advised:

1. That is a Date, not a Datejust.

2. It is 34mm which is small, the Datejust is 36mm which looks larger and more contemporary.

3. It takes a 19mm strap which again is small by today's standards.

4. You will have to love it on a leather strap only as finding a 19mm gold bracelet will be almost impossible and would cost more than the watch if you did.

5. The price is high from a private seller as you can get one for similar money from a vintage reseller that has been serviced, warrantied, etc. reference: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/vin...-18k-yg-date-with-champagne-dial-t252129.html
