Hello and this is my first post. Thank you for acceptance into this forum.

I have been offered a Rolex Viceroy and I have a few questions that I was unable to answer through a web search.

What is a Viceroy and where does it sit in the history of Rolex ?

Is this watch authentic, or from mixed parts ?

Thank you.

Incorrectly repainted dial

Generic Swiss mechanism with fake ROLEX engraving

Possibly genuine Tudor gold plated and steel snap-back case

But anyway, it is a lash-up and should be avoided.

The Viceroy was a Canadian/Commonwealth watch produced in the 1940s and (possibly) early 1950s. Going by memory, I believe they were 30 mm size (correction welcome).

They don’t look anything like either of these two. Hard pass.
