Rolex Tudor Precision, Early Model Tudor with Rare Spider-Lug Oyster Case and Bull's-eye Dial, Extra Fine Original, c.1946

Here is a very special item for you Rolex fans. A first-year production all factory original Rolex Tudor with a spectacular two-toned and textured bull's-eye dial and stainless steel Oyster case with screw-down crown and exotic lugs and the early in-house Rolex caliber 59 movement. We have never seen this Rolex dial before. The factory original dial has ribbed sunburst texturing in black areas and silvered time track with gold applied batons and showing only a couple of minor age spots. This is a very rare and unusual Rolex dial and a classic 1940's design. Solid stainless steel Rolex Oyster case with exaggerated lugs and Oyster screw-on back is in super condition with no damage, personalization or excessive wear evident. Original gold hands with aged lumen and red sweep seconds hand. The Rolex signed screw down crown sits about 1mm out from the case when screwed down and the stem barrel has probably been replaced with  one a tad too long. It works as it should and is not objectionable and we have left it as found. Inside beats a spectacular in house Rolex factory 17 jewel manual wind caliber 59 movement that is crisp and clean, freshly serviced and keeping good time. Fitted with a new Hirsch Rainbow 18mm strap in black lizard (not pictured.) A very cool and collectable 1940's Rolex Tudor in overall excellent condition.
