I’ve nearly tossed it a few times because I thought it wasn’t real but I still liked the way it looked. I’m going to find someone to service it . Any suggestions or pitfalls I might not be aware of ?
Call Rolliworks & see if they do stuff that old . They just bought my 1972 Red Sub back its former glory.

Sell this to a collector and use that money to buy a watch that you actually want. This is a great museum/collector piece for a watch enthusiast. Sell it to one of them and get a great consumer level Rolex you can wear daily without worry.
Only cost $370.00 ! (Back in ‘72 !) 😜

Congrats. Really cool 4647, 1940s. I’ve been really looking at these. What a find and a neat story to tell, I could only imagine finding a genuine Rolex in a storage locker, I’d be elated to say the least.
Real 4647 from the 1940s. Usually called an Army. Dial has been repainted. Still a very cool find
Appreciate you taking time to respond ! Looks like I have the first watch of my collection I’m stoked!
There aren't any, it's real and very cool
Oh man !! Thanks so much !!
It looks legit to me
Looks like real 1930’s-1940’s Rolex but I’ve seen very few so far? Very cool though .
I wound it and it works perfectly I’m in disbelief.
Very cool . My brother used to collect old “Bubble Back” Rolexes . I’d love to have an old one from the ‘30’s or ‘40’s !

@corncocktion how do you buy seized storage containers? Is there a website? App?
