Thanks Marko
I have also been unable to find them. Mike appers to have a Directory of Import Hallmarks: Thanks for the reference: I'll see how I can get a copy of the relevant appendix showing 515

It is just a rough sketch of the case shown there.
Not really precise, but when comparing it with other references from this time, ending with 5 had cut edge-cases, so this might point to a undiscovered Rolex numbering scheme for early references...

If I find time I migt scan the relevant reference and post it here.

Bye

The UK assay (ie hallmark) offices actually have different symbols to show if the items were produced domestically or imported. The two marks I identified in my earlier post are correct.

I have checked my 1920s Rolex dealer's catalogue: the 2613 is shown, and the shape is very close to Timbo's watch (original selling price was 9 pounds and 10 shillings in 9ct gold; 13 pounds 10 shillings in 18ct gold!!), though my catalogue doesn't show a gent's 815 reference watch...

Nur eine kleine Frage 1938 oder 1932? Meine Tabellen deuten auf 1932.

The serial from the caseback is 45278, clearly to date into 1938

Compare it with the following table from Hannes website: Oysterworld
