1942 Rolex Oyster Royalite WW2-Era Watch

Description

This vintage, all-original and correct 1942 Rolex Oyster Royalite is quite rare, having an original and very clean glossy black dial with gold gilt seconds/minute track, lume, Arabic markers, and silver gilt lettering. Please note that this crystal is scratched. A brand-new crystal will be installed prior to shipping. The original pencil hands are also intact. This dial is simply stunning and quite rare to find! The original ref. 4220 stainless steel boys-size Rolex Oyster case is scratchless and measures a smaller 30mm, which was the normal size for these vintage military Rolex watches. These watches were marketed and sold to Canadian soldiers going overseas in WW2 and sold in the military PX stores in the 1940s. The original Oyster-patented winding crown screws down like silk. This is an important military Rolex that will certainly enhance any collection of vintage watches! I cannot stress how important and rare these black and complicated Rolex dials are to find!
