9ct ladies W&D,Rolex Hallmarks
Hi, I am a newcomer and I am so impressed at the amount of information available and the passion that Rolex enthusiasts have.I have recentley acquired this beautiful 9ct Rose Gold Ladies watch which belonged to my great grandmother. I have had the watch serviced and it is working fine.Inside the outer case are hallmarks and the serial number that I cant find any info about, and I am hoping that someone may be able to help me.Cheers

'W&D' means Wisldorf and Davis the original proprietors of Rolex.
'375' means 375 parts per thousand is pure gold (a bit over a third, by weight) which is otherwise known as 9K gold. On the dial 'Dunklings' was/is a jeweller/watch retailer with business premises in Melbourne Australia that had these watches branded with their own name. This was what the manufacturers offered at that time (which they did a long long time ago). Dunklings, at one time many decades ago, was the most well known and highly regarded watch retailer in Melbourne Australia.
