Hi,

Does anyone know the value of a 1950s era Royal Oyster? White dial. S/S Case and band, gold hands and timemarkers. In very good condition overall. Manual movement.

Thanks for your help,

$700 or so, give or take. It is not one of the more desirable Rolex models.

Zaf,

I just picked one up for $780. Maybe I overpaid a little...but it is in great condition. Do you know what the movement was in these watches? Are these less desirable than a normal Oyster of the same era?

Thanks much

$780 is fine. This is the ballpark for the manual wind Oysters of the era.

Hi,
Does anyone know the value of a Rolex Oyster Royal. 9k gold plated and stamped/assayed 1942. I am told the movement is a Hunter 15. The condition is seemingly very good and is in perfect working order.
