Show us your..... Watches !

Here you go Vlad, this is the best I can do. Very small writing and a number of 'inscriptions' engraved inside the back cover in addition to the manufacturer marks.

I guess it must be a real Rolex, who'd go to this much trouble for a fake ?

The case is hinged on one side and opens like an Oyster :angel: hence the name Rolex Oyster I guess. Right on top of things me. :)


Deano :)

You'd be amazed how good some of the fake Rolexs are. More so the modern ones though as to the big $$$. No good reason to fake a watch like yours.

Looks real enough to me. And yes that's why it's called an oyster watch :)

OK a few things for your info:

The serial number dates it to 1927.

The 9-375 bit indicates 9ct gold
(A 9 carat gold is 37.5% of pure gold or 9/24 parts gold by mass)

For the other marks on the inside of the case - not very clear in the pic but on the RHS looks like an 'e' which would be the date stamp for 1927,which is consistent. The assay mark on the LHS is even less distinct but my best guess is Glasgow.

Indicating that the watch would have been imported to the UK via Glasgow and assayed there.

The R.W.C Ltd cartouche strikes me as odd in that the outline of the cartouche is not complete at the top. May not mean anything. Oh and RWC is, of course, Rolex Watch Company.

The 15 jewel movement is probably a Aegler (Rebburg), a company that made movements for Rolex.

I have an Omega seamaster at the moment.

me too! Mines got a leather strap which I much prefer. Although I haven't had it for 40+ years it is 40 years old :BigThumb: Terrific watches and still the only watch certified by NASA for its astronauts :cool: also used by SR71 pilots :cool:

However! I must stop you. The Speedmaster was the FIRST watch worn on the moon - Buzz Aldrin's as Armstrong left his in the lander due to a malfunction - not the ONLY watch worn on the moon. On Apollo 15 David Scott (commander and first man to drive on the moon :D) wore a Waltham on the moon. Not many people know that :cool:

Anyway, a moonwatch!
