Rolex ref.4498
Hello, does anyone on here have any info on this watch? I was able to date it to 1948 or 1949. Nice dress watch. It keeps perfect time and has had a recent service. It appears to be the original finish, well that's what the person who sold it said.

You can tell that it has been refinished? The Rolex and crown look a little big/thick. |

I think the crown might not be correct. Take a look at other 4498 pics on Chrono24...

I've been on the hunt for a nice 4498... How practical and durable are these beauties for everyday office wear?

I wear vintage (70-90 year old) watches around the office much of the time, myself...
