Re: Rolex Prince Ref : 912, 1934
^^^^ Sounds good Ferg!
I had been wondering what they would do about the holes in the bezel.

Very exciting Ferg to know it is a rare vintage Rolex, look forward to hearing some more and seeing the photos once you get it back.

Well I have gotten an update.
Just over a month or so since I had given the go ahead to repair it and ORA Watchmakers have contacted me and told me that "It is now at the final stages"

I imagine most of us are as excited to see this as you are! If I were to own a vintage watch, I’d want one exactly like this - one that very clearly has a story to tell. What’s the point of vintage otherwise?

Re: Rolex Prince Ref : 912, 1934
It's back
I'm very very happy with how it has turned out.
ORA Watchmakers did a brilliant job on it and kept it's patina whilst getting it all cleaned up and lightly polished.
The legendary Bernie has been very helpful throughout this I must say.
It has the better Prima 15 jewel movement also.
A strap was made for me which matched the one it came on but I don't think it's for me so I'll get Steveostraps to make one for me soon. It's an unusual size at 24mm for a vintage and of course the watch has fixed pins so needs to be a fold over strap.
Now onto the photos
Here are two photos from BEFORE it was restored at the end to show the difference.
