Reasons for recommending the Rolex self-winding model

For those who are new to vintage watches, Rolex's self-winding watch is especially recommended.

The reason is that it uses highly practical movements and cases and is suitable for everyday use.

You can use such a watch with confidence. It is safe for those who sell watches from the 1980s onwards, which are called 5-digit part numbers.

The reason is that the movement is the biggest reason.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 16234 contains a movement called Cal.3135, but as you can see from the photo, the parts that support the balance called "temp receiver" are "single" → "twin bridge". It has been changed to "more stable and easier to adjust.

It is a movement with a very high degree of perfection in that it can maintain its accuracy permanently if it is regularly maintained and it is easy to maintain.

About 30 years after its announcement, it continues to be regarded as one of the best movements in the watch industry.

Also, I think it is good for beginners that the windshield has changed from plastic to sapphire crystal from this model.

This is one of the reasons why we recommend Rolex with a 5-digit part number to those who buy Vintage Rolex for the first time.

The 5-digit Rolex is relatively new among vintage watches, but the old ones are more than 30 years old, so I think they can be called vintage enough.


And the point that Rolex is sturdy is especially important.

If you can see the budget, it is also ant to consider "Submariner" "Explorer" "GMT Master" called sports model.

Originally, there was only a dedicated model for professionals, and it is good to have robustness plus functions and designs specialized for that model.

Ref.16570, the third model of Explorer II, has a different movement from the second model, further improving accuracy and stability

The long-selling Explorer II 16570 sold from 1991 to 2011 is the last model with a 40mm case size, so it is highly recommended.


Also, considering that it will be used for a long time, we must also consider whether it can be repaired.

The place where Rolex can be repaired is overwhelmingly large, and since the distribution volume of the watch itself was large, even considering the presence or absence of parts, that alone is different from other watches.

And the point that Rolex is recommended is that the original parts are well made.

If a skilled craftsman repairs it, the accuracy will be quite high. (The craftsmen requested by Albitro will finish it exactly)

There are various watches, but the real intention is not to settle down on the royal road Rolex.

It's easy to look at the price, but I think Rolex is a watch that is worth the price when you look at the goodness of things, the goodness of liquidity, and the design.

I think it's a good idea to have one Rolex with a 5-digit part number and then try another watch.
