1945 Rolex Oyster Classic Vintage Mens Handwound Watch - Stainless Steel

Rolex

Item No. 9309

Today's offering showcases this scarce ref. 4377 Rolex Oyster made circa the end of World War II.

It features a much thinner profile than the Perpetual models - its understated, elegant and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches.

And this Oyster Precision has just a fractionally larger diameter than an Oysterdate and Oyster Perpetual non-Datejust watches.

It has a great classic World War II era Rolex look with its luminous dial and hands and bubbleback style Rolex + Oyster crown.

Powering the watch is its original Rolex 700 series handwound Super Balance movement, most often thought of as the base movement for Bubblebacks.

It has all of its correct parts. Its case presents in excellent condition with only a slight bit of aging to the back and no significant signs of previous polishing. The serial number stamping on the back is still strong.

Its dial has been previously restored. It is bright and clean with 1/5 second increments for precision timing.

One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine correct Rolex replacements, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value).

It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
