Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing. Does the second sweep like a wrist watch?

David its a dealer display quartz clock. No sweep. Still a very nice piece as most were given away after new display items arrived.

do you want to give it to a good home of a collector who will cherish it until the end of time?

Interesting - does the clock actually have a Rolex Quartz movement inside?

Also - who makes the Airport clocks?

Are they made by Rolex or just branded as Rolex?

Oh I have always loved the dealer display clocks from Rolex! The one I want is the GMT or Submariner, but have not seen any on ebay in ages.

My understanding is that the airport clocks are manufactured on behalf of Rolex by a third party.
