We purchased this Buckley Datejust from John Buckley himself. Not sure if that adds provenance, but we were glad it came from him. The nickname Buckley comes from the New Jersey watch dealer John Buckley who famously kept aside a lot of these dials for years.

The white Roman "Buckley" dial is one of the rarer configurations for a quickset 16030 and especially in this condition.
