$750 This is a genuine vintage Rolex in good working condition. Vintage period replacement leather band...everything else is original to the best of my knowledge.
Info : These watches were produced during WWII by the Canadian goverment for issue to troops who required an accurate timepiece...pilots, commanders, etc. They used genuine Rolex movemnts in Canadian produced cases.
"This vintage Rolex Victory is the stablemate to the other antique Canadian non-Oyster Rolex, the Skyrocket .
The Victory and Skyrocket were produced alongside the Canadian Oysters using locally made cases and dials, while using Swiss-made, Rolex modified ebauche movements.
The cases used on these watches were either produced by Pioneer or ID, in a variety of materials, Silver, steel, plated (chrome or Gold).
The movement is a Rolex modified FEF calibre, renamed the Rolex calibre 59 movement. These movements were used from the 1930’s right through to the late 1950s on both Rolex and Tudor watches.
The watch represents a unique segment of the early history of this now famed brand and is a wearable piece of horological history. Many of these watches were given as presents during wartime, during the Second World War." (Yorktime)
"This watch was made specifically for the Canadian market in 1944, and thus only appeared in a very limited edition. The diameter of the chromed case is 28 mm . The case has a very sizeable crown, making it easily operable by the soldiers wearing gloves.
Expert's estimate
$810 - $1,050

The only thing I am looking for in trades is a Desert Eagle in 50AE or 44mag
