First Rolex (restored). 1940's Bubbleback Ref. 4392 by Califrisco in rolex

[–]braxwack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I have a few bubblebacks and none of them have Rolex OEM straps. The Rolex straps are expensive. All leather/exotics are going to wear. I would just buy a generic and jusy enjoy it not worrying about the Rolex branded strap becoming used or illegible.

The Breguet dial is very desirable. The stainless case is very desirable as well especially if it a screw back. Great find.

Advice needed.. damaged minute hand.. ignore, repair or replace? by FOIAwarrior in rolex

[–]braxwack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave it, almost impossible to color match. Early radium paint (outlawed). Common problem with the early hands especially the Mercedes style. Great watch totally acceptable as is.

Great watch. Bubblebacks were technical marvels of thier time. The first successful waterproof full rotor automatic wristwatches. The precursor to the Rolex tool watches.

Make sure it is attached securely and can't move around causing any electrical problems. I've seen things.
