Notes: Man’s Vintage Rolex manual wind dress model ref 3265 circa 1940’s. Featuring 32 x 37mm diameter case with extended lugs, acrylic crystal, beautifully restored 2 tone antique salmon dial with mirror Roman figures and blued steel hands. Powered by 17 jewel manual wind caliber 700, 10 1/2 hunter movement with subsidiary seconds. A great looking vintage man’s dress model for a man or oversized for a woman. Recently serviced and detailed and offered with your choice of sporty leather or exotic skin strap. Offered with our 1 year warrantee of accurate time keeping and operation.
Mechanism:
The 'Precision' series of the Superbalance represents the 3rd generation of Hunter movements made by Aegler for Rolex. They replaced the earlier Superbalance series and use a much simplified balance wheel. They also moved the Hunter from 15 jewels to 17 jewels. With the introduction of this 3rd Hunter, Rolex started referring to the mechanism as the 700 instead of Hunter 10 1/2, although the mechanism is still stamped 'Rolex Patent 10 1/2 H' and typically (but not always) signed 'Precision' on the main plate. I guess Rolex owned the patent even though Aegler made the watches.

The 710 is closely related to the Aegler 700. The primary difference is the position of the second hand. The 700 is "sub second", whereas the 710 is "center second".
