ROLEX UNIQUE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF TIMEPIECE
VERY BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE SKELETON WATCH CA 1910’s
VERY BEAUTIFUL MECHANICAL WORK One could argue that the word “RARE” gets tossedaround a bit too easily on eBay but I think this is one case where the monikeris well deserved. I am happyto offer for sale this beautiful amazing large skeletonized dress a NOBLEDESIGN WATCH that dates to ca 1910’s and decoratedwith the HIGHEST QUALITY ENGRAVING withRED STONES. It was made by the “ROLEX”. BriefBrand History for Rolex: On the 22nd of March 1881, Mr Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the Rolex Watch Company, was born.Hans Wilsdorf(1881 - 1960) Sadly orphaned by the age of 12, hecontinued on with a full education at a leading boarding school in Switzerlandand after leaving secured his first job as an apprentice in a large firm ofpearl importers. However, it was due to friendship, struck while at school, that would see Mr Wilsdorf enter the world of watches. His friend turned to himone day and said, ‘When we’re finished with all this schoolbusiness, you’d better come and join us. We export watches all over the world’ So it was that Hans Wilsdorf, at an age of19, started work as an English correspondent and clerk with the firm of Messrs.Cuno Korten in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.His friend earlier comment had been no idle boast, as this firm was a verylarge exporter of watches with a turnover of nearly Frs1m a year. It was inthis position that Mr Wilsdorf interest in watches was undoubtedly sparked. Ashe commented, ‘it provided an excellent opportunity to study the watch makingindustry closely and examine every type of watch produced both in Switzerlandand abroad’ By 1903 Mr Wilsdorf had settled in London working for anotherwatch making firm. After gaining experience from this and his previousemployment and growing in self confidence he set about to established his own firm.With financial help from his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, the company known as‘Wilsdorf and Davis’ was foundered. The firm did not initially producewristwatches because wristwatches were not thought masculine by the public andalso the technical difficulties that many watch makers believed existed intrying to make this type of timepiece. Such problems as the difficulty ofproducing a movement small enough to be housed in a case to be worn on thewrist and the likely hood of moisture and dust entering this case and therebyruining movement were cited. However, unlike other producers of wristwatches, this was not to deter Mr Wilsdorf. The first stumbling block was surmountedwith the acquaintance of Hermann Aegler. While working in La Chaux-de-Fonds MrWilsdorf had come to hear of this gentlemen and his ability to produce roughmovements that would be small and cheap enough to be used in the production ofwristwatches. In 1905, Mr Wilsdorf, full of conviction of the possibilities ofthe wrist watch, placed an order worth several hundred thousand French Francsfor these movements, an order which at this time was the largest ever booked. The second difficulty in producing thistype of watch, a case impenetrable to moisture and dust, was not to be achievedfor another twenty years. But, in the meantime, one of the major events inRolex history occurred. Although the firm was very successfulbeing known as Wilsdorf and Davis, Mr Wilsdorf sort to establish a trade namethat would identify the company and the products that it made. Therefore, on 2nd July 1908 the now famousname of ‘Rolex’ was coined. There are many speculations as to the precisemeaning of this name, to which I will not add, but what is known is that thisname was chosen for very sound reasons. Mr Wilsdorf wanted a name that was, ‘short, yet significant, not cumbersome on the dial (thus leaving room enoughfor the inscription of the English traders name) and above all a word easyenough to memorise, with a pleasant sound and have its pronunciation unchangedwhatever European language it is spoken’.This gorgeous, men’s watch is a veryhandsome specimen and features anouter track borders, original blue steel Spade-style hands and a recessed sub-seconds “sweep” originalblue steel hand. It is aregistered design model that features a three piece GOLD PLATED CASE that provides with glass cover of back lid. Thiswatch was converted from pocket watch. The case, new custom made, fantastic, build specially for this excellent movement. The new winding crown is in very good shape andoperates properly. The case has MINERAL glass on the front and back side. The case is decorated HIGH QUALITYENGRAVING with WHITE CRYSTALS. This beautifulwristwatch has the Original magic GOLD-FILLEDmovement in an excellent status which was very well saved, considering age ofthis watch and has been in addition updated and engraved by the craftsman. Eachpart of the mechanism, each millimeter it is decorated by a magnificent magicornament with RED STONES. The bridges have in addition to extensiveskeletonization have been gorgeously engraved as well.

I always have beautiful pristine timepieces for sale ending Monday. Now on eBay for 10 Years! Recommendations for the owner of vintage watches: - All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
- Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
- Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
- If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
- If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
- Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
- When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
- If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
- Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
- Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
- If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
- To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
- Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
- Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
- Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
