Hello Paul, Sorry about the delay in replying. Yes, I was aware of how to upload photo's as you say.
However, my TIF photos were over 6500 Kb's each, far too large. However I have now been able to reduce. Everybody please view & ID.

REGARDS,
Bardie2.

What was model 829 called, not Prince for sure, but what?
Also, what is an Aegler Hunter movement? Another watch company under licence?

Aegler made all of Rolex movements.. In the early days they also made movements for Gruen, who sold in the US, while Rolex sold in Europe. The Rolex Prince and the Gruen watches used the same movements.

Aegler made two styles of movement... Rebbert and Hunter, with the later Hunter using a seconds hand at the 6'oclock position.

Aegler joined with Wilsdorf and Davis and eventually changed it's name to The Rolex Watch Company.
