Product details
This is a very rare Rolex Pocket Stopwatch that was made in collaboration with Forbes Jewellers in 1930.
The watch is in an amazing condition considering that it is 90 years old. The best thing about this watch is the porcelain dial.
It is in mint condition. I would give the dial a rating of 9.5/10.

The crystal is perfect with almost no scratches.
The watch was serviced in March 2020 so it would only need a service again in 5 years.
The caseback is numbered 5568. The movement is unmarked Iike many Rolex stopwatch movements of the time.

The watch ticks 5 times every second in a sweeping movement. The face is 48mm across and the watch weighs in at 70 grams.
Everything functions perfectly the way its supposed to.
The case shows small signs of wear and there are light scratches on the back since the watch has not been polished. It is my guess that the watch was stored in a safe place and was not used most of its existence.
Please refer to the photos as they form part of the discription. These photos are unedited and a true reflection of the condition.
Dont miss this once in a lifetime historic piece!
Happy Bidding!!
