Pre-Owned Watch Condition Examination

This Rolex watch is in vintage condition with surface wear to the case and bezel. Patina has developed on dial, hands and hour markers due to natural exposure. 

Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual 2940 Bubbleback

By Paul Altieri

The Rolex Bubbleback is credited as being the first official Oyster Perpetual timepiece, which included a waterproof Oyster case as well as a Perpetual movement with self-winding technology. Its feature set is characterized by a rounded case back that was developed to make room for the movement itself. The barrel-shaped case also includes broader lugs and a distinct dial, which is set with Arabic numerals and sword-shaped hands. Dating back to the 1950s, this ref. 2940 is a precursor to the brand's immensely successful line of sports watches that were to follow in just a few short years. As an older pre-owned Rolex, the Oyster Perpetual 2940 also features an acrylic crystal.  The luminous material on the dial has aged over the years and adds tremendous character to the overall watch.
