With respect for the older generation: Here´s my 76 years old Rolex Oyster Royalite. Still telling correct time :)

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a lovely looking piece. Are the hands original or correct?

I don´t know. I bought the watch from a retired watchmaker some years ago.

Beautiful patina, a really nice collectable. And it still works - That is true Rolex quality.

Nice Royalite

Hands are correct. The crazing of the crystal is typical of age and not really anything to do with radium or no. It might be a factor but they do that without radium as well.
