new vintage gold piece...
Hi guys,
Just found a vintage precision from a very good friend.. Local watchmaker guy who looked at it for him reckons its all legit from 1935 and he said its "low" gold ,ie 9k or max 14k I reckon . I can't see any ref numbers not between lugs nor on back if watch...will get it open next week hopefully caseback is marked... The dial seems peculiar as it has the minute track inside the numbers, haven't seen any like this before... ANYONE GOT ANY INFO / WORDS OF WISDOM FOR ME ? Posted from phone as am on holiday will post better pics next week once back home...

No wisdom, I'd just like to say that I quite like that dial. Nice pickup.

Also after about 10 hours of research i still haven't found any with a similar dial with the minute track inside the numbers .... Research did confirm the low gold means 9 ct ... I really hope somebody can get me some info before next week its killing me not being able to find any info at all ... Thanks |

What a beauty! It looks like my 40's Lanco. The crowns are probably really close.

That's a really nice one! Looks all original and ca. mid-late '40s (from the style of the dial and hands). Is that a solid gold bracelet?

The bracelet is not solid gold its a kind of stretchy gold band, I will try to post pics later but I don't think its a Rolex band, it says excalibur '60' as well as loads if tiny hallmarks and codes that I cannot read without a loupe...made in USA I think but its just too small font to read till I can get some magnification...I will probably replace it with a leather band unless its correct... I am surprised nobody has been able to suggest a reference yet though...I guess it could be a good thing or a bad thing that its an obscure model ...all I know is I love the look and dial and it was a bargain for any Rolex...but I would like to make sure its not worth too much before I start wearing it around too casually... |
