As much as I'm searching for the whereabout of Rolex, I find that it's not as "industrial" as it first seems, but more adapted to demand and production means that were available at the time. I never figure how so many variants of each and every watch part...
I finally found another one !!! in Italy but was used as keychain for 40 + years !
