Details
The Quintessential Rolex
The Datejust is a foundational model for Rolex, setting the standard for a practical and elegant wristwatch since 1945. This reference 1601 is a recognizable version of the icon, and its two-tone steel and gold configuration with a fluted bezel represents the most classic expression of the design.
A Timeless And Versatile Execution
This 1973 example features a clean and legible champagne stick dial, paired with the warmth of a 14K yellow gold fluted bezel. Fitted to a leather strap, the watch has a traditional, understated look suitable for both daily and formal wear. It's a versatile configuration that has remained relevant for decades.
An Honest Vintage Example
This watch is in good overall condition. The case, dial, and crystal are all well-preserved and present cleanly. The case appears unpolished and shows wear that is consistent and honest for its age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Classic And Reliable Choice
A two-tone Datejust 1601 is an excellent starting point for vintage Rolex. It delivers the brand's key design elements in a reliable and wearable package. This watch is a do-it-all timepiece that offers real history in a robust form, making it a foundational piece for any collection.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
