Jim McKinneyQuestion for WWers from PWer
Is It a Rolex, a Goering, or What, Please ? I'm just a RR PWer & need
Help, please . . .
The Seller says it's a Rolex - is there a legitimate connection with Goering ? is it a private label ? a Frankenwatch, perhaps ? OR the real deal ? what's your take on this, please ?
Thanks with . . .

Dave FreemanJim,
I've previously bought from this EBAY seller, and his stuff is pretty nice. He also stands by his watches, I know from experience.
Regarding the watch in question, I think I'd err on the side of caution. I doubt very much it's a "complete Rolex", I'd need a few more identification markings to convince me.

Jim McKinney Thanks, Dave . . .
I've edited my original inquiry to include a photo from the seller attached above. I see Rolex only on the winding wheel - but - I'm not familiar with the hallmarks on the movement or on the inside of the case back ?? Both of which appear to include "G" - Goering ?? who I understand was a high quality Swiss/German (?) watchmaker . . .

Jeffrey P. HessI do not care for so called experts who dismiss watches with great certainty when there is wiggle room. And when we all know that Rolex of Canada did some odd things... but let me get this straight...a rebberg movement, signed "d. gruen and son" on the movement, with a pilot case and rolex on the wheel and goering on the dial????
I do no think so..not even in Canada.... I mean even though Aegler and Rolex and Gruen worked together for many years, this one just does NOT make sense...
(but ya never know)
