Nos 50-60’s Rolex, «Explorer-style», gilt dial

Romega · Sep 1, 2019

Hi guys

Just wanted to share this. Almost New Old Stock. Bought in the 90’s from a former Rolex agent. Some openings marks, but never used. Interesting dial details.

Thanks for looking!

Wow that is a time capsule. Well done.

Depth rating? What model is it?

Nice watch 👍 however, I would not put the NOS label on it 😀

Is it me, or does there seem to be glue under all the dial markers?

It's either lacquer or its raised so it seems like it's glue. It looked fine to me.
