Buckley 1969 - 1603 thoughts on authenticity
Hi guys looking to buy this watch would appreciate your views
Only thing I am doubting is the hands shouldn’t it be black ?? Or that came later would really appreciate any feedback from the experts here Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks guys ! The jubilee bracket on the watch is not the best lot of wear on it but for a 50 year old watch.
I guess it’s acceptable , I plan to put it on a nice black Cardovan leather strap from Worn&Wound should look good I hope Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Anyone know what year they started doing the Buckley dials? One of my favorite variants

Thank you. That's the condition I received it and had the movement serviced and stretch on the bracelet fixed. I enjoy it. Unique piece. Works well dressed up or casual.

That grey dial Buckley is awesome. I have a white dial Buckley and love it, but the grey dial is fantastic.

If you truly are a Rolex lover then you would hoof it and not be so 20th century with this "air travel" stuff.
