The First Rolex Oyster Watch From 1926
What you see are the two versions of the very first Rolex Oyster watch, in other words, the world's first water-resistant timepiece. It was proven on the wrist of a swimmer, and when it was released in 1926 it was a rather big deal. The origin of the Oyster name is rather straightforward, borrowed from the sea-dwelling mollusk of the same name, and has been a hallmark of Rolex ever since.

Just curious, really. I would like to add one to my collection to dress the 111 up from time to time.For now, I ordered a custom ammo type strap. Should be really cool.
