AN EXTREMELY RARE ROLEX RETAILED POCKET WATCH CHRONOGRAPHE. THE BASIC MOVEMENT WORKS, THE CHRONOGRAPH WILL NEED ADJUSTING AND THE MOVEMENT SERVICING/REPAIRING AS WELL AS THE ENAMEL DIAL DAMAGE. PURCHASED THIS FROM A GENUINE SOURCE WITH THE INTENTION OF HAVING IT RESTORED BUT HAVE DECIDED TO LET THE BUYER AQUIRE AN HONEST WATCH. ROLEX CHRONOGRAPHE IS FIRED INTO THE DIAL SURFACE WITH THE OTHER MARKINGS NOT PAINTED ON. SNOWITE IS AN EARLY PATENTED NAME FOR CHROMED NICKEL USED BY ROLEX FOR THEIR EARLY CASES, FORST REGISTERED IN 1927. THE CASE DIAMETER IS APPROX 40MM. MOVEMENT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY IDENTIFYING MARKS, AND IS GENEVA STRIPE OR WAVE DECORATED AND THE BALANCE HAS A BREGUET OVER-COIL HAIRSPRING. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, AS THE ITEM WILL EXCEED MAXIMUM ROYAL MAIL INSURED COVERAGE. FOREIGN BUYERS MUST HAVE IT SHIPPED TO SOMEONE THEY KNOW IN THE UK. SOURCES QUOTE THESE EARLY MOVEMENTS AS BEING BY MONTBRILLANT, ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEEN A DIFFERENT MOVEMENT USED WHICH RESEMBLES A VALJOUX MORE CLOSELY.
