Vet inte om det är vårkänslor, men idag blir jag helt till mig när jag läser och tittar i tråden. De där var ju över mänsklig nivå..

Tack! Länken adderar verkligen charm. Men cheepo63 s mocka är grymt skönt och snyggt. Kommer varva ganska friskt känner jag.

Here is one I just received. Most collectors wouldn't look twice at it because it is a "boring" model and the dial is "damaged". Myself, I care less about condition and more about the history of the ref or the piece itself.
It is a Rolex Royal Giant Oyster ref 4461/4377. The serial is 337xxx, tables date it to 1945(?) The Rolex application for protection of the name "Royal Giant Oyster" is from Jan. 1944 (Dowling book), so it is most likely from sometime 1944-45. This one is very interesting to me in a number of aspects!
1. Early shock protection. In 1944-1945 not even military specification wristwatches had shock protection (they sure would have needed)... This one has! A radical technological leap at the time, which made the wristwatch very much more versatile. Waterproof and shock protected is all you really need.
2. Early modern Mercedes handset. Especially the minute hand with parallell sides must be one of the very first of the now so classic style, clearly different from the trapezoid minute hand with pencil tip of the BB's.
3. Radically oversize. It is not named "Giant Oyster" for nothing... It measures 34mm across, which compared to Speedkings and BB's at 30-32mm is a whole new concept in 1944-1945. Note the large movement ring.
4. Semi California dial, pretty cool with the stamped numbers and indexes and "high visibility dial" with extreme amounts of luminous material.
Not sure what is going on around the indexes,either someone tried to remove old lume with a screwdriver back in the day, or the radium is seriously killing the dial? To me, the fact that the damage seems to follow the cracks in the lacquer indicated the later? Have no idea on age of crown.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Jag är chockad! Har aldrig sett något liknande runt indexen! Fick du någon kul respons på VRF? Höll på att glömma grattis

Fantastisk! Och riktigt grymma närbilder, framför allt de på tavlan!
Ok, du får väl hypa den lite och kalla den typ "Burning-radium dial" eller "Degradation dial"postade just, vi fär väl se... rätt mycket sportrolexfokus där, o dyrt ska de va... annars är det inte så intressant, lite trist imho..

Child of Tjernobyl tyckte jag klingade fint - och dyrt...
NiklasArvid Mkt bra!! Faktiskt bland det ballaste jag sett på länge. Tavlan är ju jätterolig! Både index och patina.
Blev även magisk med navajostrapet, tycker jag.

Här ser man hur vackert det kan vara om man bemödar sig att titta litet närmare. Även jag tror på något fenomen med radiumet. I s f är det kringliggande området väldigt kontaminerat och det borde gå att se t ex på en mörkerbild med lång exponeringstid (?)
Passar riktigt bra "hippiefierad". Den egenhändiga kompletteringen med bussningarna inger respekt ! (Måste nog själv kolla efter ett Navajoband
) F ö var det en mycket underhållande läsning. Tack.
