Here is a stunning, all original Rolex Datejust from 1989 in near mint condition. The black dial is in excellent condition, with the Rolex crown at 12 o’clock and steel hour markers with lume dots at the outer ends. The faceted baton hands with the original lume are in very fine condition. The hack feature stops the watch when the crown is pulled out so the time can be set accurately. The cyclops eye at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date, which should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom of the dial.

The engine turned bezel is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case has a radially brushed face and polished sides, with the original screw-down crown working as it should. It is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case back is in very fine condition, with just a few marks.

The original steel Jubilee bracelet is in very fine condition, showing slight stretching and light overall wear. It is large enough for big wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult. The bracelet can be shortened by up to about 2cm simply by moving a spring bar in the clasp.

Inside the watch, Rolex’s high grade 3135 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in May 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The fantastic dial and overall condition makes this a watch to drool over. It is great for those special occasions or also a great daily driver, and will put a smile on your face every time you see it.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
