Help me date this.........50's, 60's or 70's?

Anybody seen this particular model watchstand before?

The base is a solid piece of polished brass and extremly heavy.

The 50's models i do believe were all brass. Meaning the "tang" (where the watch is held.) I have been looking around for a set of these for a couple months now and haven't come across this variation. The painted tang is what is throwing me off. It looks very nice though

I don't think it's painted, it's more like an enamel baked finish?

Well it could be from 1950s or 1960s when they were into the 1970s most were plastic types.But in those days they were built to last and could be used by ADs for many years.

Nix, han hade ett antal "hårda" jubileumsklistermärken som Rolex, enligt honom själv, satte på boxarna under nått jubileumsår . Kollade inte jättenoga, men de var runda
