Rolex Oyster frome the 30s refreshment
Hello everyone,
I prefer to warn right now I'm a pure newbie in watches but you will see for yourself I think and i'm french with a poor english ... I found a watch belonging to my grandfather, in dirty condition, it has not been used for at least 58 years, I did some research without finding the exact model, but i found exactly the same model under the "Oyster" brand instead of mine which is "Rolex". The one i found is an Oyster Junior Sport from the 30s, so mine is from the same period. I tried to remount it manually and suprise it still works :) !! I want to refresh it a little bit, and i think the hard part will be to find the same Plexiglas, because because it doesn't seem recoverable.. Sorry for the poor quality of my photos : If anyone has ever seen this model or know more info about it.. I think it's a cal. 59 (same as FHF30). I found some charasteristics of her Oyster sister, i think it's the same (HERE) : Rolex men's wristwatch, Oyser Junior Sport model. Period: late 1930s Hand-wound mechanical movement with 16 jewels, and seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. Steel casing diameter: 30.5 mm Silver-coloured dial with patina, Arabic numerals and hands painted with Super-LumiNova. Crystal: Plexiglas. Screw-in caseback with external etching, ref. 3136 Thank you in advance for your help |
