First PM Rolex Incoming. It’s an 1803.

[GMT Aviator]

Been looking for one of these for a while, then this one turns up so I had to have it. Lost too many deliberating for too long, but this one seemed just right.

1972 1803 in 18k Rose Gold with 1556 hacking movement.

Have to say I’m thrilled with this piece. The condition is excellent.

This happens to be my first full PM Rolex watch. On the time-grapher it’s running +2 dial up, O dial down and -3 crown down. Day and date snapping over at midnight +2. For a 49 year old watch its running like a champ.

I was specifically after a nice Rose Gold Example and patience has paid off.

Took it to RSC today and had them fit some correct gold spring bars into the Hirsch strap I’ve put on it. RSC have also provided me with a list of strap and RG Tang Buckle options for this watch that they can supply and fit, but the prices are a little eye-watering!
