1940's Rolex Chrono On The Bay - Is This Real?

[944black]

Hi all,

I like the look of this watch but is it a fake or the real thing?

I don't know much about old models.

Anyone?

Cheers

That is a real shame.A watch takes up no room at all.Even if it means nothing now,

he should throw it in the back of a drawer.Because it will mean a lot someday.

I would love to have my late fathers watch,It would be by far the most valuable watch

I could ever hope to own.

That aside I suspect thats an unmessed with gen watch.

Thats a very cool watch.

Looks gen to me....

Sad... I hope he's not selling it to feed his crack habit....

I disagree. That baby is fake. Rolex did not make a display movements. No one did in the 40's. The movement is also of modern style. At best, it is a Rolex pocket watch dial with a reformatted case.

Regards.

What also makes you wonder is the fact that it went for 270pounds... I always thought vintage rolex watches were ALL worth a buttload of cash!
