Lot 592 , A gentlemans 1940s 9ct gold Rolex manual wind wrist watch,
A gentleman's 1940's 9ct gold Rolex manual wind wrist watch, with Roman and dot markers and subsidiary seconds, inner case numbered 3667, the movement signed Rolex Precision Patented Super Balance, (no glass or strap).
Estimate £300-400
The crown is very stiff. There is no Rolex insignia so is a probable replacement. Lug slightly bent at 11. The hands do adjust...eventually. It does wind but again is very stiff. The watch is not currently working. We cannot guarantee any of the watches to be in working order.
No glass or strap. Dial quite dirty and most probably discoloured. Case back quite scratched. Case back engraved with Rolex crown and numbered 390545, both of which are quite tired. Case diameter excluding the crown is 33mm.
Overall condition is quite poor and the watch is in need of obvious attention.
