(No trades)
Here from an Estate, we have a 1940's (I believe somewhere around '46) Rolex Bubbleback for sale. Case is incredibly clean, with Rolex Oyster-Patent crown. Winds, sets, keeps time etc. I don't want to say that everything on this watch is original - but it sure does look like the case was VERY well preserved, and the dial and hands certainly show some serious age, so if this dial was indeed ever refinished or swapped during service - it was done very long ago. Beautiful, even patina, with some definte signs of age, but it looks absolutely beautiful! There are some superficial scratches on the bezel and case, but nothing major. The caseback is scratched up, as if someone tried to open this without the proper tools at some point. A few of these deeper scratches do transcend up to the case sides. But overall, this case is in good condition. Comes on a beat up Bulova leather strap you're going to want to replace. Acrylic crystal is in aesthetically good condition, but there is a crack along one edge around 10-11 o'clock.
Serious buyers only, watch is sold in as-is condition. I welcome any questions.
$2000 EMT shipped.
