Rolex

Over the past years, I have been able to source a few French military diver's watches from the late 1950's that were still in the drawer of retired watchmakers: Rolex, Tudor, Blancpain,... In these early days of SCUBA diving, most of these watches were us...  

Just WOW. Most interesting story about its MN life. Thanks for sharing, best, Mark

I hope to learn more about its history... Cheers Jeff

and WHAT a condition this watch is in.... fantastic. Truely rare to find one in this condition.

they are usually more beaten up... Cheers Jeff

I really like what you do with the strap combinations on some of these watches. Works well. Remarkably good condition for its age, and i guess more specifically teh nature of the watch.

but I have found that the hardest watch to dress that way is the PN Daytona: nothing better than the Oyster bracelet on this one. Cheers Jeff

I was wondering whether black leather with some white stiching might work. I might experiment....

...  

Jeff, hard to tell the difference between dark brown and black in that photo. Looks great though. I definitely love the white stitching, but wonder how a black leather strap would look. I will try next week.

The watch looks great! Regards Smith...
