THIS IS A VINTAGE 1946 GENTS ROLEX OYSTER SPEED-KING PRECISION WRISTWATCH IN STAINLESS STEEL.
DESCRIPTION.
To complete this fantastic piece, we've put it on a new high quality lizard strap.
CASE.
The stainless steel "boys-size"case is in good condition for its age, its has a few marks but this is normal considering its age. The case measures 30mm across without the original Rolex Oyster winding crown. Inside the case back all the marks are correct as expected.
Please note: Watches of this age are smaller than today's modern Rolex so please check the measurements before you bid. Even though this was a mans watch in its day it is a ladies size nowdays or a small mans size.
DIAL.
Usually watches of this model have restored dials, but this dial is totally original (unrestored).
The dial is signed:
Rolex Oyster Speedking, Precision, Swiss Made.
MOVEMENT.
The high grade manual wind 17 rubies movement is in very good condition and has been fully serviced. The movement is signed: Rolex Precision, 17 rubies, Swiss Made, Patented Superbalance.
It also still retains its original Rolex Oyster winding crown.
Please note: Watches of this age even after servicing may loose or gain up to 60 seconds in 24 hours.
STRAP.
To finish this beautiful watch off, we've put it on a new high quality lizard strap.
THE BOX AND PAPERS.

But even though this watch does not have its original box or certificate, this watch, the reference numbers, markings, signatures and hallmarks are all correct, dating the watch to circa 1946.
We provide a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity and provenance of all the watches we sell.
