Need Help Identifying Vintage Rolex!
Hi! I posted this in an old thread but thought I'd start a new one so it actually gets read:
I have an Oyster- it was likely bought in Canada or the England, at the time. I didn't realize it was a Rolex because there is no brand on the face of the watch? However, the winding crown says, "Oyster Perpetual" and then has the Swiss cross-style logo. Any idea if this would have been one of the Canadian models or something else? I can't seem to date this one... |

Might be an early Cushion, definitely not an Oyster Perpetual.

Late 20's to early 30's Oyster case.
As mentioned doubt it was a perpetual, so crown was probably a later replacement. Just google "first Rolex oyster" and you will find similar models. Not unusual to have an unmarked dial on early Rolex watches. |

Thank you. Sorry, I meant that the winding crown says, "Oyster Patent" with the cross, not "oyster perpetual". Does having the case opened up help date the watch?

It might have serial and reference numbers on the inside of the case back.
How big is it? It is reminiscent of the late 30s Panerai Radiomir watches supplied by Rolex. |
