Rolex Precision 9083

Rolex Precision “UFO” Reference 9083 w/ Waffle Dial Unpolished

The Rolex 9083 is nicknamed the UFO for its distinct flying-saucer shape. The honeycomb dial is gorgeous and the case is unpolished. The Swiss-made Oyster rivet bracelet appears to be unpolished and is in fantastic and tight condition. Personally, this is the nicest 9083 I have ever seen or held. It is very honest and came from the family of the original owner, who engraved his military ID and Social Security Number on the case back. My understanding is that the original owner purchased this during his military service. It’s hard to find a Rolex UFO in this sort of unpolished and original condition. Often the UFO watches have replaced bracelets, but this is original. This example features an outstanding white “honeycomb” or “waffle” dial and is non luminous. The textured Rolex dials of the 1950s are very uncommon and particularly important on Rolex models! This example dates to circa 1958 with a 347,XXX serial. This watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history but it is running well.
