BEWARE, only a few Rolex's were produced with the Eaton's name SOLAR (Less than3%) and extremely rare and highly sought after by collector's , very few are in fact Rolex and most are ETA or Felsa  cheap movements DO  NOT be fooled!.  ON EBAY you must ask for the watch to be opened to see the TUDOR name or ROLEX name or if it is too cheap then the seller knows something you don't. DO NOT get greedy and remember... you get what you pay for!.

October 7, 1927. It was a cold October morning, and Miss Mercedes Gleitze (1900-1981), a London typist and part-time professional swimmer from Brighton, was about to make her eighth attempt at swimming the English Channel. Just a year prior (on July 29, 1926), Rolex patented the first waterproof wristwatch: the Rolex Oyster. When Hans Wilsdorf (the cofounder and Managing Director of Rolex) got word of the vindication swim, he saw this as a golden opportunity to promote his new creation. Wilsdorf wasted no time, and on October 14, dispatched a letter to Miss Gleitze by way of the S. T. Garland advertising service. By this letter, he formally agreed to provide her with a gift wristlet watch to be worn during the upcoming swim. In exchange, Gleitze would provide a written testimonial on the performance of the watch after the swim.

It may sound a bit more romantic to say that Mercedes wore a Rolex on her wrist as she swam across the English Channel, but this, unfortunately, was not the case. While she did “carry” a Rolex for more than ten hours during her vindication swim, it was not on her wrist, nor was it during the “successful” fifteen-hour swim she is remembered for. This is simply a story that has had some “specifics” misquoted over the years. With that being said, on October 25, 1927, Mercedes Gleitze forwarded a letter to Rolex, which summed it up very well, and read as follows: “You will like to hear that the Rolex Oyster watch I carried on my Channel swim proved itself a reliable and accurate timekeeping companion even though it was subjected to complete immersion for hours in sea water at a temp of not more than 58 and often as low as 51. This is to say nothing about the sustained buffeting it must have received. Not even the quick change to the high temp of the boat cabin when I was lifted from the water seemed to affect the even tenour of its movement. The newspaper man was astonished and I, of course, am delighted with it…”

Again, while Mercedes was unsuccessful on her vindication swim, the significance of this feat was not lost on Rolex, as it heavily promoted it in its now-famous London Daily Mail front-page advertisement on November 24, of that same year “Rolex introduces for the first time the greatest triumph in Watch-making – ROLEX ‘OYSTER’ – The Wonder Watch That Defies The Elements. MOISTURE PROOF WATER PROOF HEAT PROOF VIBRATION PROOF COLD PROOF DUST PROOF”

ROLEX "VICTORY"  ROSE GOLD FILLED CALIFORNIA DIAL

STOCK NUMBER # ROLEX7711----- First things first. The dial is not perfect although it looks like it is. There is a small bubble on the dial at the 4:30 position and some chipping near the  or at the bottom of the 6 position. Not east to see from 2 feet but they are there and must be mentioned. The case is indeed a BOY'S SIZE gold filled model and it is an Oyster case with a screw down crown, worn but original to this piece. The case is small at 35mm long lug to lug and wide without the worn screw down crown it is 30mm wide. The case serial number is 305,806 and it is written on the outside of the back of this stainless steel Oyster screw in case back. There are no personal engravings on this case. The movement is a Canadian model caliber 59 and it is written under the dial side as the last scan shows you. There are 15 cleaned Ruby jewels to this movement and it is a manual wind piece. The case reference number is written on the inside and it is 3478 which is correct. The band is 16mm in width never worn. If you can live with a slightly less than perfect dial than you can own a beauty that has been freshly serviced. Remember this is a boy's size piece so both men and woman can love this piece to bits.

ROLEX "TUDOR" FRESHLY SERVICED OYSTER CASE

STOCK NUMBER # ROLEX6920-----First of all this is a Rolex screw down crown but it is worn as the scan will show you. Other than that this is a wild original Tudor Rolex dial and the case is indeed a waterproof Rolex oyster case but signed Tudor. The case serial number is 447635 which tells me this piece was produced in the year 1945. This case is a boy's size at 37mm long lug to lug and without the Rolex worn crown it is 32mm wide. The dial again is 100% original never touched at all. the case has no personal engravings on the back and quite clean. The movement is a Tudor/Rolex caliber 59 which means only the Rolex or the Tudor name under the dial side of the watch is different and the Rolex caliber 59 in EXACTLY the SAME as this Tudor caliber 59 movement and it has 17 cleaned Rubies. The band is 16mm in width and it is a genuine pig skin.

A NOTE.....

Did you know the Rolex caliber 59 movement with 17 jewels and 15 jewels are also Tudor's?

 The only difference being that if you take off the dial and look at the main plate of the watch it will be signed "Rolex Geneve" or "Tudor Geneve" in a small box. Some people take the Tudor plate and have the dial with the name Rolex on it to make more money. We at DARLOR warrant our pieces to be genuine , real and no "monkey Business" at all. As well the caliber 59 was produced for the Canadian market during the world war 2 era before and a bit after. Many names on the dials are for the 59 caliber. So there you have in in short. So be warned and ask a good dealer to show you a scan or in person where is says Rolex or Tudor and any honest dealer will take the time out to show you!.
