What is the Oldest Rolex on the Forum?

[G85]

Rolex Prince (I’m told late 1930s?) This has been handed down in the wife’s side of the family, other then the fact it’s got the wrong hands fitted from someone at some time way back, I don’t know much about it, other then it’s been sat in a draw for 20+ years. My mother in law actually wants to sell it...

So true. Lovely watch.

Runs and looks brand new.

That's exactly the watch I was thinking of!!! Someone named "Alcon" or something like that????? I apologize in advance for butchering his name!!!!
