Vintage Catalogs available anywhere?

[poormanstahiti]

I've searched quite a bit, but haven't had any luck as of yet. Are there any 1940s through 1950s Rolex catalogs available online anywhere? Also, has anyone written a comprehensive book on Bubblebacks? I saw that someone was working on a project many years ago but it looks like it was never finished. Thanks in advance!

I'd love to see the first 11 languages made available for the day wheel of the day-date. Apparently they're mentioned in that catalogue.

There is "https://www.mazzariolstefanolibrary.com/it/frontpage/" There is a subscription but the library is extremely helpful.

This almost looked like the perfect solution. I just subbed for 100 Euro for one year, but my goodness, that is one difficult to navigate site, mostly in Italian, and with very little info from the 1940s. Regardless, I appreciate the help, hopefully something of use comes from it.

Everything is available in English as well.

There are some folks here with extensive knowledge and experience with those years and also some reference material. If you are looking for specifics feel free to ask.
