This example has a champagne applied Roman numeral  dial, simple and classic and timeless, with a black Roman \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003echapter ring, and black printing throughout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch comes on a Rolex Oyster style stainless steel and eighteen carat yellow gold. The smooth bezel is also in steel, and not eighteen carat white gold, which tones the watch's appearance down. This is a more modern case that has the lug holes covered now. Known as the \"No holes\" case. This was an improvement that Rolex made to the case toward the end of the 1990's, making this an early iteration of this case. These dials also mark a move away from Tritium luminous material to the superior \"Super Luminova\" material. This also marks a change to the dial iteration. No longer do you find the \"T SWISS T\" at the six o'clock position, but simply \"SWISS MADE\" now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch is powered by a Rolex, Swiss made, thirty-one jewel automatic caliber 3135 movement that powered the majority of all Rolex models since its launch in 1988, from the Datejust to the Submariner. These later models can be identified as they do not have the earlier, characteristic, 'pie pan' style dial. This model also comes with the more ergonomic 'Quick Set' date function, and the newly designed smaller profile case, all of which were introduced in the 1970's. This case has the spring bar holes exposed from the side, a 'holes' case, which was phased  out around the early 2000's. The watch is fitted to its original Rolex Jubilee stainless steel bracelet with removable links in place, which, if needed, can be removed to make the bracelet smaller. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch was made circa 2000 with serial number P.189,XXX. The watch is in excellent like new condition, unpolished with its original case-back sticker present and like new. This illustrates the lack of wear this watch has seen. The dial is perfect with all the original Luminova luminous material present and glowing evenly blue under UV light. The more rare Oyster link  bracelet is very tight with no sign of sagging. It is a hollow link version of the Oyster bracelet. The watch comes with its original paperwork, box and outer box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA classic, very easy to wear more modern and robust execution of this ultimate classic that just turned twenty six years old. To find these watches in condition like this, complete from this period is becoming almost impossible. The patina that the gold has taken on is amazing to the eye. This Datejust is a barn-find and worthy to grace any wrist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe watch comes with a Foundwell one year warranty against mechanical failure.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"1.417","offer_id":45892089151678,"sku":"FWW1946","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/2617\/files\/0013-1_ce463104-5712-41c2-9316-e95f4ec9a491.jpg?v=1769472284","url":"https:\/\/foundwell.com\/products\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-datejust-2000-full-set","provider":"Foundwell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
