I bought from an auction a Rolex Oyster for my daughter.
Can somebody tell me more about this watch. I already found out what T SWISS T means.

Hope somebody can tell me if this watch is from around 1972.

You might wish to take off the bracelet and read the serial number engraved on the hidden part of the case for better year accuracy.

2030 movement is definitely 1970s but they ran for over a decade into early 80s. Although in your case, it's called a 2035 after adding Date complication - but common parts often remain labelled 2030.

This style of bezel is "fluted" not smooth. Fluted is factory made in gold, smooth is steel.

Looks like a nice honest unit, decently clean insides & hasn't been put away wet.

Thanks for the information Tamiya. I was wondering on some Rolex Oyster watches there is text between the hands of the clock and the 6...

"SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" etc..

Why is that not on this one ?

Thanks in advance !

Because it is not a superlative chrono
