Looks like the dials have been refinished. Otherwise, O.K.

The one on the left is original. I'd need a better photo, but I think the one on the right has latter replacement service hands.

The velcro on the right one is on the wrong end, also.

Look a bit woolly to me.
I think rolex made a small amount some years ago,
These were special order, and only sold in N Zealand.
I am sure JJ, girlfriends had them both, but sold them as the wool on wool look, never really worked..........!
