tid bit of info for you :-)
Ever wonder what a cap jewel is or an "Inca bloc shock system is all about?"
A cap jewel you will find on both sides of the balance wheel staff (pivot)
and this piece (cap jewel) is under a very small spring that closes down on the
jewel but lets it float a little so if G-d forbid you drop your watch the
balance staff that fits right underneath it will move up and down a fraction so
it will not snap as the cap jewel is held in by the small inca bloc spring as
mentioned just before. You have a small friction jewel just under the cap jewel
and this small friction jewel has a hole in the center and this is where the
balance staff goes into, to keep the balance straight and the cap jewel is flat
on the balance staff side and rounded on top so the Inca bloc spring keeps a it
snug in place but will let it move a fraction of a mm to give the staff protein
from falls. Without an Inca bloc system on both plates of the balance if the
watch is dropped there is no give and the balance will snap in half and you are
looking at a major repair job.

ROLEX
RARE CUSHION CASE ALL ORIGINAL AND WELL SERVCIED EARLY MODEL CIRCA 1935
STOCK NUMBER # ROLEX1060------A
true iconic timepiece from the Rolex "Swiss Oyster Watch company" as
written on the inside of the back of this early Rolex water proof case. From lug
to lug this 4 piece genuine case is 38mm long and wide less the crown it is
33mm. This is a chromed case and has many "Great Britain" patents as Rolex was
started in London prior moving to Switzerland to avoid steep tax laws in the UK.
This case has been cleaned and cleaned only and left in all it's glory. The
crystal is new and fitted properly for sure. The dial is 100% factory never
touched nor altered. As well as the pointed blued hands. The movement is
absolutely correct and signed "15 jewels, Swiss Made". The crown is an Oyster
screw down piece and signed Oyster patented which is correct. There are 15 clean
and inspected jewels to this gem and I have serviced this Rolex movement with
T.L.C. Produced at the Rolex factory in the year 1940 and keeps really good
time. Truly a work of art and iconic from the Rolex Geneve Swiss watch factory.
The band is period leather and 16mm in width.

WELL SERVCIED 1941
STOCK NUMBER # ROLEX950------If you look at
the last scan it reads "Rolex Geneve" in a box and it is under the dial on the
main plate where it is placed so be assured it is an early Canadian model Rolex

gold filled! From lug to lug the Rolex case is 37mm long and wide less the
"Rolex Oyster" screw down crown it is 29mm. The case reference number is 3351-F
and the serial number is written on the inside and it is 118,489 which indicates
this piece was made in house at the Swiss Rolex factory in the year 1941. The
back is stainless steel and with no personal engravings. The dial is beautiful
and all original as well as the hands. This is a caliber 59 Rolex movement and
there are 17 clean and inspected ruby jewels. I have added a new main spring and
other than this I have serviced this gem to perfection so expect a great time
keeper. The band is leather two tone stitching.

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.

SERVCIED! 1925
STOCK NUMBER # ROLEX1925-----Firstly for those of you that desire only non
polished non touched dials etc, then this is the piece for you. I have cleaned
the movement, ultrasonically cleaned the case and changed the crystal, hat is
all that was done, nothing has been added nothing has been altered it is non
molested. This is a chromed "Oyster "case and from fixed wire lug to fixed wire
lug this early 1925 Rolex case is 38mm long and wide less the original "Oyster"
Onion screw down crown it is is 33mm. Again this is the original dial not
cleaned not touched as well as the original hands. As the scans show you the
inside of this Oyster screw in case has all the patents from the U.S.A and Great
Britain. The movement is with 15 clean and inspected Ruby jewels and all are
flawless. This movement has been flashed gold and has the Geneva wide damskeen
stripes and indeed this is 100% correct and harder to find than the nickel
finished early Rolex movements. A few winds of the Onion crown and this piece
takes off perfect as it is that clean and keeps great time for a timepiece from
1925! The band is Pig skin at 16mm wide never worn, It is a bit short so I will
add a few others for you to keeps and choose. A stunning beauty left in all it's
all original glory.

Hello Darryl,
just watch to let you know the Rolex you sent me surpassed all my expectations!
Even the case is stunning, I feel lucky I found it. I don't think I will be looking for a while but if you ever come across an Omega
"Ranchero" with the broad arrow hands, I would be tempted
