Nurse's Fob Watch
Hi All,

Do Rolex currently, or have they ever, made a nurse's fob watch?

I don't seem to be able to find any useful information elsewhere online.

If so, where would be the best place to buy one from?

Many thanks in advance

Nope. All they have offered is on their website.

Have been looking for the same. The offering of fob watches is very poor. Best get a Seiko/lorus

They used to, many years ago (pic from an old eBay sale). As these kind of watches won't self-wind when worn, it would need to be either manual-wind or quartz, and I would recommend the latter, for convenience. Seiko would be fine.

I own a Rolex Cellini small pocket watch that would be great for your needs. You might be able to find one searching the Internet. Google Rolex Cellini pocket watch.

Just use a default rolex watch, it looks good on scrub suit and while holding a syringe while injecting..

Expat... I just love that face. Those arabic numbers and entire design features are fantastic - perfect for timing bpm! Thank you for posting it.

Someone could easily make one out of an old Oyster Date. Can probably pick a head only up for not terribly much. One where the bracelet didn't survive and the lugs on the 12oclock side in bad order would do nicely.

Welcome to the forum. Like suggested above there's probably a way you could make it happen

This is just wrong; their site focuses on current offering only (other than those that might have historical significance which show in some of their background information).
