Here is something early and a bit of a survivor, this 6518 was made in the first year of the Serial Number reset by Rolex, in 1954. The watch has been polished before and the crown is a newer model but most importantly, dial and hands are period correct and very well preserved. 

The watch Does Not work at the moment, the balance wheel moves freely but hands seem to be locked in place and do not tick.
