The Rolex Vintage Precision 6427 watch: the refinishing

The Precision line offered hand-wound watches when Rolex was primarily known for its automatic calibers. This fact helps explain the lack of attention this range has gotten, yet this caliber offers many advantages. It is very robust, precise and allows the case to be refined.

This Oyster case fits like a glove, and its ridged bezel adds a chic touch to the watch.
