Was looking around today and came across a Rolex Pocket watch. The picture below isn't the actual one I held in my hands but it's the identical watch . It said seven world records and had some other engraving in the case back. Really a cool piece. Does anyone know anything about them or the value of them?

The lever movements are the least expensive of the pocket watches. You can look on eBay to see what they have sold for in the past.

Lever refers to the type of escapement. It is a superior type of escapement to the Cylinder escapement which is why it is being touted on the watch. All of them are lever escapements....these happen to use an earlier Rebberg calibre. Later Rolex used Cortebert movements in their pocket watches as well. Also a lever escapement.
