I just bought this Rolex.....

.... pocket watch! Another one to add to the P W collection.

Won the auction not 10 minutes ago, it should arrive in a week or two. 10 micron plated case. I have a great watchmaker here who has access to a plating shop in Toronto to redo the case if we deem it necessary on close inspection.

Congrats, that's a model I've never seen before

What exactly does it say inside the caseback?
