we are splitting hairs between 57/58

But we are still missing a little the parameters. The dial is hard to see in these examples and the crown has an odd shape.
But that is not to say not good. If the case back is 1959 / 60 too late and then you start to see is there some assembly.
But again I still don't have a clear picture all looks ok from the pictures in this light.

Ok that puts in a 1958 range.

Case back should have a 58 dated case back. Now the movement I can't really say anything. The rest is a little hard based on the pictures. But the puzzle comes together as you add color. Bill

Hello Bill I appreciate your thoughts, and your insight into the many details of these vintage timepieces. Kind regards Anthony
It is hard to speculate without seeing the watch in person.

I have seen a watch in the same serial range and the crown was different. Now that is not to say this one is wrong. It could have been assembled later or it could have had a dial replaced by Rolex. It is hard to speculate. But as we have said previously h...

Borrowed this picture from Stefano who always is a great resource for the Rolex GMT. Observe the Rolex crown in this example and the hands. Just as a way for you who has the watch in your hand to look for similarities. Bill Photo credit : Stefano Mazzario...
