under andre heiniger, rolex carried the banner of excellence in whatever bore the crown and letters. this was in the rolex dna. i still have some of the items from those days and their quality is unmistakeable. one item is a soft leather tobacco pouch made for geneva by dunhill of london, in black with a crown stamped in a corner. running out of space now. hope this helps clear up the question raised by "yakmeister".

We all know that rolex made lots of items from paper weights to pens, knives, tobacco pouches, keyrings etc. many of us have been. Rolex official clocks never took this form to our knowledge, they were square with white dial and the classic green Rolex and coronet gold hands , no second hand , not sports models with second hands like these cheap fakes as you state their quality is not remarkable. Please note I refer to walk clicks only there are other desk top clocks I have not mentioned.
The other form is round with a gold fluted beze surrounding the clock face, gold hands no second hand and white face again with green Rolex writing and coronet they are fairly plain. If you have seen others please show us and enlighten us we always love to learn more regards.
