Full of surprises, once in a while

I believe the seller also has Rolex documentation.

As for Rolex watches, once in a long while, something of a surprise appears. Even the experts will be baffled.

I have never seen a Rolex Day-Date in TT (Two-tone) and this is the first one, ever. However, it does not mean it is a franken or fake. I am not at all surprised the seller got a Rolex documentation. Just ask 100 vintage Rolex watch collectors, I am sure 99.9% will say, it is not a genuine Rolex. But now there is a Rolex documentation to substantiate, this Rolex Day-Date TT comes from Rolex of Geneva and not the castle of Frankenstein.

This very interesting pastime, vintage-watch collecting, is indeed very challenging, since once in a while an example never seen before, comes staring into our eyes.

To all participants, thank you for bringing to my attention, there is actually a Rolex Day-Date in stainless-steel albeit prototypes. Perhaps the TT Rolex Day-Date is also a proto.
