6282 Oyster Brevet 61 end links info needed

[alexkarbo]

Hi everyone,

I picked this 1953 Rolex 6282 and have been looking for some info about a few characteristics that are not familiar with what I've normally seen on Rolex watches.

First the crown has a cross (+) under the rolex crown. Also between the lungs you can find the word ''Brevet'' and the same cross logo.

I'm also looking for some info on the bracelet which has 3-55 on the clasp and '61' or could it be '19' end links.

It's a first time I wear a rivet bracelet which is spring loaded and find it very comfy. All in all i'm very happy with the watch.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you

Alex
