this was my grandads... its from around the end of the war i think.....

i'm not looking to sell it but i've never seen one like it.

thoughts of the watch experts on here? i don't its particularly special... but most oysters seem to have a date window and roman numerals...

pretty bad pics i know....

i had it serviced around 12 yrs ago so i know its geninue...

i'd really like to know a bit more about it.. can't find it on any watch website.

thanks

Ginge !

well its a old one if that helps pmsl

theres loads of info about on the net on em if you got the time, i spend AGES looking at em, got REALLY confused with it also but then it started to sink in

theres usually a guide if the things that date the watches on these sites such as when they intrduced the date windows ect ect ect

happy looking

ps: we gotta meet up again one day, aint seen you for years

hi mate,

i did spend about 3hrs early this week trawling through the net looking at pics.. agreed they are very confusing! all banging on about the different mechs used inside them... i was hoping somebody who knows alot more about them than me would recognise it.

and yes - would be good to meet up has ages. still remember taking the sierra up to stus place? that was a while back it hadn't been setup since then! had it done about 2 months ago. fuel pump and wiring and fan wiring and setup. didn't realise how much slower it had got over the years.. flying now tho

off this wknd so i think i ll get it out and have a blast....

hope you and yours are doing alright mate.

fancy an ace cafe meet next ford night if its not raining? thats nice and local

Ginge !

yeah im up for the ford night deffo,,, in my jap car pmsl

find out when it is and PM me and we shall have a meet !

i've got a tag heuer and it's about 4 year's old, the top of the tree from the link series.

i cant fuck all about the watch or pic's anywhere

i know it's not dodgy as the missus bought me it for my b/day few years ago,even when i go in the shop i'm treated like fucking royalty

but can i bollock's find anything on the net about them

so as a post war rolex, have fun mate!

Read recently that Rolex was based in London originally but moved to Switzerland for tax reasons in 1940s I think. Pointless trivia maybe but I never knew that!

RobCarden

it was mate... it was...

12 posts in and the watch hasn't even had a mention

northerner

It may be worth posting you query in the watches section of pistonheads

Ginge !

what watch,,,,,,, oh yeah !

thats a nice watch mate, unusual to have numeric points on it,,,,, you should start a thread to see if anyones got info on it IMO

vikingboy

Go and post on timezone.com in the vintage rolex section and you will find your info. Bunch of knowledgable people over there. Thats a great looking watch.
