Rolex early 3 piece case Front and back screw on

Rolex Trench watch

In keeping my rules for getting watches, I have traded my Kelek Chronogaph plus cash top up for this Rolex early 3 piece case, front and back screw on trench watch from circa 1918. This watch is unique as both the front and back case can be removed via unscrewing.

After months of exploring other branded watches, I have decided to stay focus on Rolex, some military and divers.

Wilsdorf and Davis Ltd was registered as "Rolex" in Switzerland in 1908 and later in London in 1912. On Nov 15, 1915 Wilsdorf and Davis Ltd officially was renamed "The Rolex Watch Company Ltd."
