It's generally felt the hacking feature was introduced in the early 70's. I have a 2.5 mil. 1680 RED that does not hack (III/70 inside caseback), and I know one collectors that has one earlier than mine that does.
I'm also aware of one collector that has a datejust from 1965 that hacks!
The only thing we know for certain is there is no bright line rule with Rolex.
As to your second question, Rolex movements are given a number that "ties" them to the case number.  |
Unfortunately Mike some of that has to do with unscrupulous watchmakers as well. But you are right--that with Rolex one never does know.
