Last week while visiting my friend and watchmaker I took some shots of some of his precious Rolex patented tools.

Enjoy!

You guys may yell at me for this, but my guess is that it's just a typical quartz wall-clock movement.

He worked for the Dallas RSC for 20+ years so that's were he got it from.

He actually owns two of them and won't sell them. Already told him that when he closes down his shop I want to buy one of them. He said sure so that's good.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing

The pressure tester alone would probably fetch enough to buy a Rolex watch!
Very cool and rare as hens teeth.

MonBK is correct. Change the IP in the address bar to rolexforums.com and the photos will magically appear.

I'm sure glad you identified that last picture. We never would have guessed that it was a wooden clock.
