REALLY old Rolex

So who has a really old Rolex? I think this 1908 Wilsdorf & Davis is probably pretty close. It hails from 1908, the same year that Hans Wilsdorf registered the tradename Rolex. There are several threads here re the origin and restoration of this watch.

I don't want to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol IS a solution!

Looks like a piece of art! Beautiful! Is it a porcelain dial? Got pics of the movement?

Awesome. Yours is older than mine.

Mine dates (at least by the sterling hallmarks) to 1915.
