This very rare first series watch has the straight second hand and has become known by enthusiasts as the “Steve McQueen” or the “Freccione”.

Finding good condition Steve McQueen straighthand’s is not a simple task.

Finding ones like this is even harder.

3.3m serial first series watch dating to this piece to 1972.

Beautiful cream lume dial and fading orange hand, great bezel with all numbers clear and a fat case to die for, especially following a light Rolex UK polish that we all know make the case look like no-one else can.

Comes with a full Rolex International Guarantee for 2 years for complete peace of mind.

  1. Hi

    Could you fill me in on what Rolex did in the service? I’d like to get a feel for how much of the watch is original and how much refurbed or replaced?

    Thanks

    Stuart

    1. Certainly Stuart. They carried out a full movement service, replaced the crystal, pressure tested and resealed. Everything else was kept as original.
