Gulp! Early Lady's Rolex From 1927 Model 40?
Just my lucky day to get this extremely early lady's Rolex.
9K Gold. Case says 7 WORLDS RECORDS. Early Serial Number 21769. But then what is the number 40 below the serial? Crown is not original but not a big problem. Does it mean this watch was purchased from Africa in 1927? |

nice telephone dial, the other name on the dial is the retail shop that sold it, in the early days most retailer added their name to the dial as well, they are quite rare, many of them appear in the text books as rare, i have no idea what the 40 means sorry, nice one my friend

Looks a lot like mine. Except all I've got is a movement.
  If anyone wants it I'm open to all offers.
