    Hmmmm, what's this? Me like. Compression screws??
    I've seen these but your bezel looks better than most...

    Flying Officer. Missing some paint in the bezel and there's what I think is radium burn on the dial but other than that it's in pretty good shape. Surprisingly accurate.

    I'm still learning as well. I've never opened it but I believe it is a Venus 150. It does have the 4 screws on the caseback.

    Yes, original dial and hands, from about 1938. There was no "SWISS MADE" as it was apparently purchased in Switzerland by the original owner, a certain Jack Mayer (engraved on the case back). According to James Dowling, this was typical of Rolex of that era, to have "SWISS MADE" only on exported watches.

    Many years ago, my Uncle went to NY to visit my Dad who was attending USMMA at Kings Point. My Dad took my Uncle to lunch at Inagiku in The Waldourf. As they were seated, Dad noticed Jacques Cousteau at the table next to them. He quickly grabbed the Menu and politely ask for his autograph.

    on one of my top 10 today, underrated and not too well known outside of wisdom, the Guinand 40. on an entirely inappropriate strap to see how it looks on black, I like the look so the GGB should do fine.
