Double-signed/co-branded Rolex dials: Pics from every known retailer
Most Rolex collectors know about dials co-signed by Tiffany and Serpico Y Laino, but there are a lot more retailers that sold co-branded Rolexes (mostly from the 1920's-1940's). I find it impressive what a wide retail network Hans Wilsdorf had in place, even back in 1930 or so. There are dials signed by stores in Venezuela, South Africa, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Cuba, Singapore, India, etc.
I haven't seen any comprehensive lists of co-signed logo dials, so here's all 43 that I could find. I'm sure this isn't all of them; if you're aware of any others I'd love to see some pics! Alex Clark London (England): Ashford & Davis Kilburn (England): Asprey (England): Astrua (Italy): Beyer Zürich (Switzerland): Boix Barcelona (Spain): Boodle & Dunthorne Liverpool (England) Bucherer's (Switzerland): Cartier (France/England/USA): Chas.

Stern Johannesburg (South Africa): Jaccard St. Louis (USA, presumably added by the retailer, like Tiffany): James Walker (England): Joyeria Riviera (Cuba): K.W. Co, which I believe is for the Knickerbocker Watch Co. New York (USA): Linz (USA): Mackay & Chisholm Edinburgh (Scotland): Mappin (England): Northern Goldsmiths, who also sold at least 4 other RWC brands (England): P. Orr & Sons Ltd.
