Excellent: Case has incredibly minor blemishes and/or scratches. The lugs are thick, full, and well-defined with sharp edges throughout. Dial and hands may have extremely negligible imperfections visible upon close, magnified inspection. Lume is fully intact and may show slight discoloration. Watches of this condition class may have never been polished.

Case: The tri-color case shows nearly no wear, with only a handful of hairlines and light scratches present through the case and bracelet. The overall impression is spectacular for a watch of this era. The faceted lugs remain well defined with the original geometry of the 18349 on full display. The condition of the caseback is consistent with the rest of the watch, showing almost no wear with no significant imperfections. The rear of the lugs illustrates nearly no signs of prior bracelet removal. The model, brand, and serial number engravings remain sharp and detailed.

Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The dial, hands, and crystal are all in spectacular condition and show no signs of degradation. The tritium lume on the hands and the single tritium lume plot at 6 show nearly no discoloration and are totally intact.

Bracelet/Strap: The condition of the Rolex 8285 tri-color gold bracelet is consistent with the rest of the case. Nearly no wear is present throughout. The hallmarks of the buckle remain totally intact and defined. There is a remarkable lack of bracelet sag that makes this 18349 a very attractive specimen. The bracelet has 23 original links.

We stand by the quality of all of our pre-owned watches and mechanical objects. If something goes wrong, we’ll always strive to remedy the situation in a timely manner and to the best of our ability. The satisfaction and trust of our clients are of the highest importance to everyone at Greenwich Time.

All of our pre-owned watches undergo, at a minimum, non-invasive mechanical inspections to ensure they are operating correctly and to ensure that they meet our standards of timekeeping and functionality.

Our pre-owned watches, unless otherwise stated, are covered by either a full or limited twelve-month warranty. This excludes any damage or mechanical failure sustained to the watch due to improper use or an incident. Due to their age, some pre-owned watches should not be subjected to the same conditions as when new.
