When the Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust was introduced in 1977, the 5035 movements were not sent to the COSC, so the Oysterquartz Datejust manufactured during the years 77-79 don't wear the text Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified.
For example our white Buckley Dial only has three lines and is called a Mark 1 Dial or a three liner. They are more rare and it's near impossible to find them in NOS condition like our example.
