Rolex OysterQuartz Datejust 36mm | Rare Black Dial | Ref. 17000 | 1978

Condition

Pre-owned in good vintage condition. There are signs of use and aging on the case, bracelet, bezel, crystal, and dial. These include scratches and nicks, small dings, and patina on the date wheel. We have left it unpolished since owning it, but it likely was polished in the past during its 48 years of existence. It has been recently externally deep-cleaned. Please view all photos carefully to judge the condition.

• DIAL: Minor blemishes on the dial if you look for them.
  
• HANDS: Slightly imperfect from aging
• CLASP: At some point, the clasp had the watch case serial number engraved on it. This was not an uncommon practice, and was usually done to ensure the bracelet stayed with the correct matching watch head. 
• New Part/Repair!: These old quartz movements can be tricky, BUT a brand new negative terminal circuit was installed, along with a fresh battery, and this watch has been running and keeping amazing time with no issues for months! You're not getting some "idk, it ticks" Oysterquartz from a seller. This watch has been worked on and tested for a long period!
