Akira 0 Posted February 25, 2011 As my 1000th post on this wonderfull board, I'm gonna post some pics of my godfathers Rolex Precision He's no watch photographer, but tried his best, so be gentle. It must be late 50's but I don't know the reference number... Hope you guys like it Cheers Akira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 25, 2011 That's really nice. I often think that older Rollies are more elegant than what they're producing now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted February 25, 2011 yeah, I agree - they just need to make them 45mm and 20mm thick, apart from that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prestigewatchco 2 Posted February 25, 2011 I have the same watch as this it was given to my grandfather for 25 years of service with WIMPEY builders. Only difference is I have a white/silver dial. Is this one hand wind as well? I have the model number somewhere as I sent mine for a new winder crown and service at Rolex some time before and they gave model details on the invoice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These were from a time when men were men and fathers were afraid to open the doors to let daughters out! They are small by todays standards around 34mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
