Circa 1956. Credit picture: Phillips. 





Superb looking and very interesting Rolex, with its dead second movement, Cal 1040. 

The case is 35 mm big, which is fine for me. 

Definitely a reference I should own, one day. 

Best,

Nicolas

Nice picture there, with historical significance. This will be a difficult beast to hunt down. Good luck my friend!

Thanks, JOW. [nt]

I see you want to be a nurse for it ;-)

A rare watch, and even rarer with its original mouvement. Tough it would be strange for a Rolex seconds hand not to move... perpetually. You must be in love ;-)

Good one, Dédé. [nt]

I woke up this morning thinking I should buy a vintage watch that corresponds to my birth year — 1956! Lo and behold!!
