Description
This vintage, circa 1942 Rolex Sky-Rocket WW2 pilot’s watch is an all-original example, including the very uncommon original black dial, blued steel pencil hands, and dustproof winding crown. Look at the original and amazingly aged lume on this dial! The 29mm sterling-silver case is original, fine lookin, unpolished, and retaining the original patina. This watch could be shiny and lustrous with a gentle handpolish – we prefer the original silver tarnish. The just-cleaned, manual winding caliber 59 movement (signed ROLEX under the dial) is accurate. The sterling-silver model is much harder to find than any of the gold filled or steel. We bought this watch right from the family of the original owner.
