Debonar Watches: Pre-owned Rolex Date 1500 from the 80s, with aftermarket Donald Duck Dial.

The key factor that separates the Rolex Date ref. 1500 of the standard Datejust of the same era is its slightly smaller case. While the classic men's Rolex Datejust size is 36mm, the case size of the Rolex Date is 34mm, similar to the Air-King and Oyster Perpetual models that Rolex was producing at that time.

This watch features a spare Rolex Donald Duck dial (hands off).

Like other vintage Rolex watches, the Reference 1500 Date is equipped with an acrylic crystal. (plastic/plexiglass).

A bit of its history:
First appearing in the 1950s, the Rolex Date offers much of the same design and functionality as the classic 36mm Datejust, but with a smaller case diameter of 34mm.
The Rolex Date ref. 1500 was produced from the early 1960s to the late 1970s.
