Vintage Rolex/Rolco officers military watch WWII trench

Description: Relisted Due to none paying time waster. Hello & welcome to my listing. For sale is a WWII officers Rolco/Rolex military trench watch. The watch is running with a few minute gain per day approx 3-4 mins this can be rectified I believe with an adjustment to the regulator but I'm no expert & would benefit from a service, for this reason I am listing as in need of service or repair. If the watch has stopped for a length of time once wound it needs a little gentle shake to get going hence the need for a service in my opinion (could be build up of dust who knows). I purchased the watch from a vintage watch seller via eBay many years ago & it originally had a metal bracelet (see picture) as an extra the seller replaced the metal bracelet with an after market brown leather strap & included a Rolex buckle (see picture). It was only when I was going through my watch collection I came across this watch so had not been wound up for a long period of time. I wound the watch & gave it a gentle shake & it started running, I have wound the watch each day of over a week & it's running fine apart from the minutes gained each day but please remember this is a vintage piece & from what I have read this can be expected. The watch comes from a smoke & pet free environment. The Rolco lettering has faded off the dial but you can ever so slightly make out the c & o at the end of Rolco if you look carefully with a jewellers loop. Please check out the photograph's listed as they are of the actual watch & form part of the description. If eBay system allows I will also upload a video showing the watch running. I am listing at a price cheaper than what I originally purchased the watch for as the watch is just sitting in my display case & never get's worn, so really needs to go to someone who is going to appreciate it & wear it & although in running condition for complete transparency I am listing as Spares or Repair. This would be a great watch for a vintage watch collector or someone who likes to tinker with watches. There are no boxes or paperwork with the watch due to its age but I will also include the metal bracelet as seen in pictures. Any questions please feel free to ask. I have updated my listing as I was asked if I could attach a picture of the movement, I have now added pictures of the movement & also inner side of back case which shows the RWC LTD stamp & numbers engraved above & below this stamp, hope it helps all interested. Update I have had the watch running regularly & consistent for the past few month's & when it stops once winder runs down it no longer needs a gentle shake to get going again. Once you wind the watch it starts running, as 1st though it may have just been a bit of dust build up but it seems to have cleared well, bearing this in mind I still suggest buyer has it serviced considering it's age. Good Luck to all interested.
