Produced in very limited numbers, these "rigid hooded" watches are one of the most desirable Bubbleback models and contrast the plainer Oyster watches. Housed in one of Rolex's first water-tight Oyster cases, this wristwatch originally offered its owner complete protection against water and dust. Inside the ruggedly elegant case Rolex place an early self-winding Perpetual movement, keeping the watch powered by movements of the wrist. Equipped with nineteen jewels, a self-compensating Breguet mainspring, and the company's patented Super-Balance system for greater accuracy, this fine watch the timekeeping standards of discriminating owners. Besides being the much rarer hooded version of a Bubbleback, what further separates this watch from other Bubblebacks its it beautiful all-original condition. It has all of its original parts down to all hands and its Rolex + Oyster winding crown. Its gold and steel case shows only light signs of previous polishing. All of the back and underside of the watch still retain their original factory applied finish - satin for the back and a blasted finish between the lugs. Only the top and sides show any signs of ever having been lightly polished. The case is in really fantastic condition. Its dial is to die for - it is original and untouched, in mint condition with only the tiniest bit of aging and toning. One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex parts including installing a new mainspring and ratchet wheel, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value). It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time better than many new Rolex watches in our testing recording position. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. This is a special opportunity to own a very rare all-original rigid hooded Bubbleback in fabulous condition. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. As mentioned, one used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership.
