Description

An excellent circa 1955.I quarter, Semi Bubbleback dial patina is gorgeous! The case back bears signs of a mis-matched Rolex production line, that sometimes produced enough cases for one reference, and then changed their minds and went with another reference, so you can clearly see a reference 6284 that is scratched out, this is probably done in the workshop at time of production. The no.18 is stamped below, the date stamped I.55 (The no.18 usually denoted patents pending)
Please note the condition of the bracelet, it has a poorly hinge at one end link, but the rest of the bracelet is superbly built, the YG on the bracelet is solid 80 Microns. The case YG is 18k
The movement in this watch is a caliber 645 c. era of the famous bubblebacks, during these years, many bubblebacks were converted to a robust production lineup, sometimes they're also called a half bubbleback. The watch movement is in fine working condition, but because there are no parts whatsoever to rely on, the service cannot be undertaken excepting for watchmakers that have a stash of these parts. So, please kindly consider my reluctance to start this as a project, the watch will be sold as is, in fine working condition only.
I am open to offers on this item, as I would like to pass it to a good collector. Sold for the sum value of parts that it contains and also from the rarities angle, it is quite a superb deal.
