1920's Rolex Pocket Watch

Hi guys, is there anyone on here who could roughly value the following pocket watch?
It's a 1920's silver hallmarked in near mint condition, running perfectly.
Thanks in advance

I have no idea of value.

I can't believe what great condition it is in. Looks new.

Value = "who knows?" Not to be facetious, but these, although they can be lovely, have minimal collector interest.

Hi, thanks for the replies.
Well, I purchased this a few days ago. I paid 850 and comes with a years warranty.
This is now my second Rolex, first being a 1965 gold precision.

Full description...


Genuine Silver ROLEX Pocket Watch. Signed Dial and movement c1933

This is a genuine Rolex pocket watch made for the English company Collingwood, Makers to the Admiralty. The Collingwood company was named after Cuthbert Collingwood 1748-1810, an Admiral in the navy and a good friend and comrade of Nelson.

The watch comes in an English silver case, which has clear hallmarks for Birmingham 1933

The watch works well and keeps excellent time.

Movement – the nickel bridge move has a lever escapement and is signed “Rolex, Timed 3 Positions, All Climates, 15 Jewels, Swiss Made” # ref 662 # 770250.

The movement is in 80% mint condition – on close inspection, many fine scratches

Case – the movement comes in an English silver open face case, which has a hinged inner, back and bezel. The Dennison case has a smooth plain finish and is in 90% mint condition – a very clean sharp watch with just a few light surface scratches and some very small knife marks under the thumbpiece on the back cover

Dial – the white enamel dial has a full set of blue steel hands and is signed “Rolex, Collingwood, Watchmakers to the Admiralty”.

The dial is in 99% mint condition – a tiny mark on the 11

The watch measures 50mm wide x 14mm deep

The watch has a mineral glass

The watch is stem wound / stem set
