#3116 1938

Hi

I have a modern Rolex, but looking to dip toe into the vintage models - but finding it a bit of a minefield.

I see this watch from 1938 with full set of docs and box - have already got a reduction price offer but it almost feels too complete - I see old undated papers being sold on auction sites and I guess I am wary.

Would you mind taking a look and giving a novice some guidance as to whether this looks ok - re authenticity. The premium price for the watch includes the paperwork being complete but is irrelevant if it isn’t correct.

The serial number 100xxx points me to early 1940s on some sites/ lists but another seems ok for 1937/8, but papers say clearly 1938. Could understand if the papers were after the ‘manufacture/ test’ date but not this way round.

Seems a reputable seller, and eBay authenticity is there I suppose.

Thanks for any help.
