Oyster Raleigh

A chap brought this into my local watch repairer yesterday. He was having it overhauled before passing it on to a relative. Although tiny by modern standards these were used by the Canadian army in WW2 apparently.

These small Rolexes were made for the Commonwealth markets. In Canada, they were frequently gifted to or purchased by Canadian servicemen but were not military issue.

Nevertheless, nice collectable watches.

Here is mine. Yours is missing a hand? (or are they overlapping?). And the crown and case tube need to be replaced. They are small but chunky (mine is a reference 3478).
