Well, from your Australian Tudor, it seems to be some time in the 1930s! I would have guessed by late '30s, in any case, as most of those early '40s Oysters have it.

Thanks, yes, at least mid 30s. I was wondering if it might even be late 20s?

i have seen it in a rolex that by date charts, which are not perfect as you know, suggest it was made in the year 1930 , not sure if that is when it first came out though sorry
