A World War One era Rolex silver cased Trench half hunter wristwatch, ref 71363, in 35mm diameter case with fixed wire lugs, screw down back and 15 jewel manual wind movement, the white enamel dial marked Rolex with Arabic numerals and a subsidiary seconds dial, the movement and case back both stamped Rolex and the case back further stamped with silver import marks for Wilsdorf & Davis, London 1918 and numbered 71363 1068303, with later presentation inscription to the back of the case, some damage, mounted upon a later expanding bracelet. The movement is not running and appears to have been over-wound. The winding crown has been replaced. The glass is loose in the half-hunter cover. Wire lugs are slightly bent. There are no cracks to the dial. There is a later presentation inscription 'To J.A.B. Mills From his friends in Head Office Nov. 1937'
