Marvelous!!
I started in watches in the early 80’s. Those
days you could find pieces like this very minty
on occasion, sometimes with the box. To find
one like yours all original these days is rare. Early
Rolexes were my main interest. The only one I
have left is a hooded bubbleback from the 40’s.
That’s not early like the 20’s and 30’s but from the
50’s on the design language changed. Here’s a picture

What a unique piece....

Thank you for posting this remarkable timepiece!
Wonderful model and example!
Very much my kind of Rolex. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
Iconic!

I know;)
Back then collectors use to research, study, test, share experiences and wear their prized watches, not just wrist shots, flex and back in the safe or trade for the next shiny thing! I remember when collectors like you and some here used to write essays a...
That’s an amazing fact I did not know
Yup the superlative chronograph is the best movement Thanks all for your kind words J
Nice. I always loved the Rolex Prince although they discontinued them in 2015...
Not that popular I guess. Some of their last ones. ...
