Vintage Rolex Help
Hi, recently I inherited a Vintage Rolex watch. It was originally given to my Grand Uncle by the Ford Motor Company in Cork, Ireland for 30 years’ service in 1958.
The watch isn’t working and is in poor condition. I have attached some pictures and based on information from this forum and other sites, it seems to be a 4607 model. Unfortunately, I cannot find any reference to 4607 anywhere on the internet. If anyone has any advice, information, etc, it would be greatly appreciated. |

These are like oversize models if I remember correctly.(38mm) Definitely a rare and beautiful watch. I missed out on one 10yeara ago in similar shape. They made them in 18kt as well, the crown is rather unique and rare which is a bummer but shouldn't be too expensive or hard for most watchmakers to get up and running again. Hardest part will be finding the original crown and unfortunately there are likely no dials for it left. Although I imagine this one cleans up rather nice

These are relatively rare, but there are some photos on the Internet from previous sales, and this one show the style of winder that was originally fitted:

Thanks for the information. Struggling to find the serial number on the watch.
With regard to the markings on the case back, any idea as to what they mean? |

The numbers written on the inside are service marks, it is a watchmakers code. That case may not have a serial number. If it does then it would be on the outside of the case back. Looking at the condition of the case, if there was anything on the outside it is probably long worn away.

These aren't Oyster cased or Chronometer grade so not really any SNs to tie them into the Rolex timeline.
