Modern Rolex Pocket Watch
Anyone here know if they make one? If they do, where can I get one? I would like to add one to my collection. Only one problem, every AD I go to doesn't seem to stock any modern Rolex pocket watches. They all have plenty of the old Hamilton 992B rail road grade watches or the Rolex vintage pocket watches, but what I would like is a new, modern Rolex pocket watch for my collection.

Yes they do.
Ask them to show you the Master Catalog. |

The Rolex Cellini collection has a few pocket watches available. They have significantly reduced how many models they offer over the past few years.

Can you show us a pix of the coin watch? As you can imagine, I'd like to see that!

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it. So, what I am hearing is, they do make a modern pocket watch and they are available if I ask at the AD, correct?

Cool...I always wondered if Rolex made pocket watches yet. I have an old one (probably from the 1920's or 30's) that someone gave me as a kid, always wondered if it was real ("Rolex" marked on face and movement).
I'm sure an AD could make an inquiry with Rolex and determine if available. Good Luck! |

Yeah, I'll take the used one for $3-$4k and let someone else take the big hit on those!

Not fair, Al. Shame on you for making any thinking man jealous.

I believe pocket watches were from a time when men wore 3 piece suits and the pocket watches were kept in the vest pocket.
