Rolex's finest

Not really, it's the worst...

Magnetic seconds pinion, ruby regulating pins... And you can never get a decent amplitude or average rate

Thanks! I'm using my OnePlus 5 phone with a clip-on macro lens.
Nope this is all one and the same watch/movement. The 2030 and 2035 have the same automatic module bridge, Rolex was lazy back in the day and didn't make one stamped with 2035

This one is dated to 1980, one of the last of the 20×× models in production
