ROLEX   MANUAL WIND CANADIAN MODEL GOLD FILLED CONTRACT CASE AND WELL SERVCIED 1941

For Darryl:

I recently purchased two vintage Rolex watches from Darryl at Darlor Watch: a Rolex Standard and a Rolex Solar. These are outstanding watches and run spot-on. Don’t let the smaller size of some of the older watches stop you from considering them. They look incredible with a suit, and they have a vintage classiness that’s impossible to replicate.

As always, Darryl’s service is second to none. I not only buy watches from him; he also fixes my “watch finds.”  I send him some items that require expertise that few watchmakers possess. His great love and passion for fixing old watches and giving them new life make it a pleasure to do business with Darlor Watch.

ROLEX GMT MASTER SOLID 18 KARAT GOLD BEZEL, QUICK-SET DATE CHRONOMETER WATCH AND RARE STRETCH 2 TONE BAND 1986

STOCK NUMBER # ROLEX200------I will start this commentary with this early genuine Rolex made in England 2 tone gold filled stretch band. This is an early 20m in width band and compliments this GMT Master Rolex to no end. The band is for sure is experience with very little stretch and again was on a previous Rolex wrist watch. There are 12 links and two end pieces. The two end pieces are signed Reg 875,088 circa mid to early 1950's. This GMT Master Rolex wrist watch is in a stainless steel Oyster case with the original solid gold Oyster screw down Rolex signed crown. All gaskets are correct and this Oyster Case GMT Master is water proof to 150 meters as tested in my Water proof chamber. The dial and hands are all factory original never touched flawless. The cyclops window crystal is acrylic and perfect. This movement has been taken apart and inspected then cleaned then inspected again so you may expect a certified chronometer time keeper no doubts of this fact please. There are 27 fine and cleaned as well inspected ruby jewels and the date turns over perfectly at 12 sharp. Please not when you pull out the crown once and turn the crown the date will exchange ASAP then  pull the crown out in the second position and the hands will turn to the time you need. This is a prestigious piece from the Rolex factories in Switzerland and well maintained all these years. The year of production is 1986. The back of this case reference number is 16750 and the case registered design serial number between the lugs at 6 pm reads 957xxxx. And the mid case reference number between the lugs at the 12 position reads 16753. The reason this number does not match the back of the case reference number 16750 is because this is a two tone GMT master 18 karat gold bezel and this is 110% correct. If the bezel was red and black (Pepsi) and all stainless steel then it should read between the lugs at 12 pm 16750. This is a rotating bi directional bezel. This is a brilliant find with a rare two tone experienced expandable Rolex made in England bracelet.
