Your opinions please?
This looks quite nice, but I'm not certain if it's something anyone has seen before to even try to determine if it's real:

No close up pictures is a red flag. So is an almost new box.

It looks like a typical Rolex tonneau design of late 20s to 30s. From my references, it looks pretty good, but I have no specific model ID and can't verify its authenticity. Its hard to believe that they are counterfeiting models that old with such a limited market potential - tooling up, even for this, would be expensive...but times are tough.
![]() ![]() The second line on the dial is impossible for me to read, but it might indicate that it was made for a specific retailer (common Rolex practice for the time period), perhaps domestic or of another country. The box, if real, is $100+ worth - to match your modern gents sport watch. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I would definitely want to see better pics, including the caseback, and the movement. I think I have seen similar ones sell for $300-$400 (without the unrelated newer box, of course). I would steer clear of this one.......but, of course, that is simpl my opinion....
