CASE & BRACELET

This early 1985 Rolex 5508 no crown guard case remains in thick, sharp, unpolished condition retaining the original case chamfers and finishing. The case retains its original crown showing the Rolex coronet and Brevet cross. The bezel and rare "long 5" red triangle insert are original to the watch and remain in wonderful condition with the original radium filled pearl still partially intact. The Rolex oyster bracelet was sourced with the watch and is stamped 4/60 which could have been provided with the watch at the at time of original sale. The bracelet is in an amazing condition showing minimal stretch and retains 11 links and early 75 end pieces. The original crystal does show a craze in the lower left quadrant by the 8 o'clock & 9 o'clock marker.

DIAL & HANDS

The glossy gilt chapter ring dial and gilt hands remain untouched condition showing some age but remain in remarkable condition. The glossy gilt dial does show some surface lacquer patina as can be seen in the photos but is honest and original to the watch. Under U.V. light the radium lume plots show some degradation and some of the lume has flaked off the plots in some areas but otherwise remain in very good condition for its age. The radium lume within the original gilt hand's has darkened with age as this is common for early radium but remain fully intact and show no visible lume degradation when inspected under U.V. Light and under magnification.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time accurately but the extended service history is unknown.
