The set bridge is broke and the set lever and clutch lever have so much wear that i don,t think they can be used..

Samie L. SmithThe movement has the # 59 down next to the balance..
Did rolex make this movement or was this one that was build for rolex by another company..

Adam M. DubinThat
was a Rolex-manufactured movement, as far as I am aware, used in all those WWII era Canadian Oyster Royal, Centregraph, Raleigh, etc. military style watches, and probably the usual Oysters as well.
Here is one on my Oyster Centregraph.

Cary HurtSamie,
I'm pretty sure that's a Font movement. I have some material for a Font 59, but according to my fingerprint book, it looks like Font 30. There are very, very few set bridges with a 5 hole configuration. I'll look around some more to see if I might have something for that caliber.
Regards,
Cary
