Notes

With the resurgence of popularity of these early Rolex Bubblebacks, this example is an excellent representation of a very well preserved example, apart from some light polish to the case from age, the Rolex engravings on the outer case are crisp and deep, the movement still shiny and the fully original dial has turned to a vibrant color from the radium on the indexes and hands that react strongly to the Geiger counter, proving its all original untouched condition.
