Come on...that handle is obviously aftermarket, the center screw is from a different model, and the jaws are clearly service replacements. It's a Frankenvise

subtona · 20 January 2018, 09:40 AM

Nice, one of the original style case back openers. Well done.

wiggindude · 20 January 2018, 09:42 AM

I wonder how much it would cost for RSC to service it.

soundserious · 20 January 2018, 09:54 AM

Overpolished.

zapokee · 20 January 2018, 12:37 PM

Can I play golf wearing this?

GB-man · 20 January 2018, 04:09 PM

Meh. Over polished

MonBK · 20 January 2018, 09:32 PM

Why doesn't it have Rolex stamped on this side?

Hmm, maybe I'll put in a bid in case it's real.

Seller is in Osby so I could save 89 bucks freight and go pick it up, (it's only a 5 Hr one way ride).

Just make sure you have enough cash on you if you go pick it up

For this precious purchase 99% of the people that replied in that thread could buy it.

Think this could be a rare prototype Rolex anchor, with a 330m depth rating.

mountainjogger · 20 January 2018, 10:02 PM

Looks light that would be a tight fit

JParm · 23 January 2018, 02:26 AM

What should we call this one? Bane, the Joker, Dr. Strange??

Frogman4me · 23 January 2018, 04:01 AM

"tropical" patina for sure. Awesome!

MylesFalkingham · 23 January 2018, 04:03 AM

At the end of the day that is just a vice :')

Maxtor · 23 January 2018, 04:49 AM

Rolex sundial maybe?

Wiener48 · 23 January 2018, 05:07 AM

Cool pice

Casey VP-26 · 25 January 2018, 02:08 AM

This vice has Jocke's name written all over it.

1675-David · 25 January 2018, 03:12 AM

The bidding has gone wild since Mon revealed the whereabouts of this rare and highly collectible old Rolex. I hoped off at 230, too rich for my wallet, but for those of you who are among the 1% here’s the link. This old piece needs to go to someone who really appreciates the finer things in life...

Run the serial numbers!

This model came with a custom Rolex Sledge Hammer and Pliers too. Find them and you have yourself a "Grail Set"

For those of you who may be planning flying in to view this piece I can recommend staying at Stora Hotellet, it’s easy to find.

It's also the only one.

shawndww · 25 January 2018, 06:37 AM

make sure to add it to the serial number database project.

ckaynyc · 25 January 2018, 07:16 AM

The threads of the crown are exposed...might need a service.

I was going to ask if bidding winner did he plan on sending it to an AD/RSC for a nice service?

coffeebreak · 25 January 2018, 03:03 PM

Can't believe this thread is still going! That's the magic of vintage treasure, I guess

shawndww · 26 January 2018, 02:16 AM

Lug width appears to be around 220mm.. Does it come with strap or bracelet. Finding a period correct one maybe difficult.
