Trying to identify Rolex Speedking
Hi all,
I just got a Rolex Speedking and try to become friends with it. Its stamped serial#: 493550 Crown says: 'Rolex Oyster' with a swiss cross in between. Couldnt find any information on Rolex serials/manufacturing years online at all. Can anyone help on dating this watch? PS.: History of Speedking will also be appreciated apart from the usual goole hits. Thanks a lot! |

Some more data I've found on it...
Apparently its a 4220 Rolex Oyster Speedking, Case size: 30 mm Seller claims it could be a 1959 model, but not sure if the serial# fits. From what I found it could be older than that. There are a few same looking around being sold online... Anyone knows on where to get a new plexiglass since its pretty scratched up already? (Rolex ONLY services this watch in Geneva - at a price triple the buying costs...). Your help is really appreciated! |

It should be 1958 or 59. Nice Watch, just a bit small!

Thanks so much for the first hints.
Is there anything like a list of serial# matching the building years available anywhere? Hints to any other sources of historical knowledge regarding the speedking are also most welcome, as I have not found much at all... Thanks again |
